2. Other Common Teaching
Methods
 The Internet
 Computer Managed Instruction
 Computer Technology and Learning
 Computer Teaching Strategies
 Self-learning Modules

3. The Internet
 Internet is a global system of interconnected
computer networks that use the standard Internet
Protocol suite (IP) to serve billions of users
worldwide.
 Educational material at all levels from
pre-school to post-doctoral is available from
websites in the internet.
 The Internet in general and the World Wide Web
in particular are important enablers of
both formal and informal education.

4. How?
 Used as a resource for problems,
answers, ideas and more
 Can be used in a “how to research” lesson
 A group can cheaply communicate and
discuss ideas via chatting and online
conference (online class)
 Messages can be exchanged even more
quickly and conveniently via email or online
chat
 May allow files to be exchanged, drawings
and images to be shared, or voice and video

5. Computer Managed Instruction
 an instructional strategy whereby the computer is
used to provide learning objectives, learning
resources, and assessment of learner
performance
 aids the instructor in instructional management
without actually doing the teaching
 a system in which a computer is used to manage
several aspects of instruction, including learning
assessment through administration of pretests
and posttests; design and preparation of learning
prescriptions; and calculation, analysis, and
storage of student scores.

6.  A self-learning technique, usually
offline/online, involving interaction of the
student with programmed instructional
materials.
 Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is an
interactive instructional technique whereby
a computer is used to present the instructional
material and monitor the learning that takes
place.
 CAI uses a combination of text, graphics,
sound and video in enhancing the learning
process.

7.  Typical CAI provides
 1. text or multimedia content
 2. multiple-choice questions
 3. problems
 4. immediate feedback
 5. notes on incorrect responses
 6. summarizes students' performance
 7. exercises for practice
 8. Worksheets and tests.

8. Types of Computer Assisted Instruction
 1. Drill-and-practice Drill and practice provide
opportunities or students to repeatedly practice
the skills that have previously been presented
and that further practice is necessary for mastery.
 2. Tutorial Tutorial activity includes both the
presentation of information and its extension into
different forms of work, including drill and
practice, games and simulation.
 3. Games Game software often creates a contest
to achieve the highest score and either beat
others or beat the computer.

9.  4. Simulation Simulation software can provide an
approximation of reality that does not require the
expense of real life or its risks.
 5. Discovery Discovery approach provides a
large database of information specific to a course
or content area and challenges the learner to
analyze, compare, infer and evaluate based on
their explorations of the data.
 6. Problem Solving This approach helps
children develop specific problem solving
skills and strategies.

10. Computer Technology and
Learning
How Does Technology
Enhance Student
Achievement?
Basic Skills Instruction
Advanced Skills Instruction
Assessment of Student
Progress
Student Motivation

11. Computer Technology and
Learning
 Basic Skills Instruction
 Computer assisted instruction- to drill
 Multi-media software - teach to a variety of
learning styles
 Videodiscs - strengthen basic skills
 Video and audio technologies - bring material
to life
 Distance learning - at least as effective as
traditional methods of instruction
 All forms - develop new skills related to use of
technology itself, necessary in workplace

12. Computer Technology and
Learning
 Advanced Skills Instruction
 Interactive educational technologies,
including:
 Computer-generated simulations
 Videodiscs
 Internet
 CD-ROM
 Students learn to: organize complex
information, recognize patterns, draw
inferences, communicate findings
 Learn better organizational and problem-
solving skills

13. Computer Technology and
Learning
 Assessment of Student Progress
More comprehensive with multimedia
Assessments which require student’s
active participation
Electronic portfolios

14. Computer Technology and
Learning
 Student Motivation
They like it better
Increased family involvement
Improved teachers’ skills
Improved School Administration
and Management

15. Computer Teaching Strategies
Computed Assisted
Instruction (CAI)
The Internet
Virtual Reality

16. Computer Teaching Strategies
 Virtual Reality
a computer- based, simulated three-
dimensional environment in which
the participant interacts with a virtual
world.
only in virtual reality can the learner
enter a virtual world and feel an
object, move it, and measure its
movement.

17. Self-learning Modules (SLM)
 are learning activities designed for
participants to do independently when they
are unable to attend individual or group
education sessions
