Computer Assisted Instructional Software

Today in Technology class we learned about computer assisted instructional software. Instructional software enhances the learning process by setting up a direct interaction between the student and computer. There are more than 30 research studies that have found that the average learning time is reduced to 50% of the students who use multimedia instructional programs. Students show greater motivation and enjoyment, actively involved and the attention is focused. The multimedia programs can be used for full class presentations, small-group tutorials, and student projects. Just think how much farther technology will become in the next ten years with programs like these.
