Computer Assisted Instruction Performance Standards for the Design of Interactive Feedback and Control Software

Abstract

This research is an investigation of the relationship between computer assisted instruction (CAI) and students' performance. A diagnostic model is constructed from evaluative computer-collected data. Scores are generated by a diagnostic function during the use of CAI. It is concluded that built-in continuous analysis and communication, to users and management, of performance data can lead to improved performance and better design.

Keywords::
