Computer Assisted Learning

What is Computer Assisted Learning (CAL)?

• Learning that is done entirely through physical experiments

• Learning that is only possible through books and lectures

• Learning that is mediated by a computer and requires no direct interaction with a human instructor

• Learning that requires direct interaction between the user and a human instructor

Which type of Computer Assisted Learning involves practicing skills that have been previously presented?

• Drill & Practice

• Simulation

• Tutorial

• Problem-Solving

What is the advantage of Computer Assisted Learning related to reasoning and decision making abilities?
