Title: A framework for research in computer-aided instruction: Challenges and opportunities
Abstract: The relative effectiveness of computer-aided instruction (CAI) systems has become a popular research area. Over time, the focus has shifted from assessing the relative effectiveness of CAI (in comparison to traditional classroom teaching) to identifying factors that influence the success of CAI implementation. This paper presents a set of questions that form the basis for research in CAI. The questions evolve from a framework which suggests a set of components contributing to the effectiveness of CAI. These components are divided into four categories: student, environment, medium, and subject. As the research focus has changed, so has the technology that has been applied to instruction. Special attention is paid to the recent development of interactive videodisc (IVD) technology and the promise that it has shown as a new medium for instruction.
