COMPUTER ASSISTED LEARNING

Computer assisted learning (CAL), is not a new phenomenon. This field ofeducation has been growing
since the introduction of computers into the learningenvironment. As computer has become standard
instructional tools in the primaryand secondary school system, they are used extensively in all aspects of
nursingeducation. Due to the great changes in the primary and secondary school systems,they are used
extensively in all aspects of nursing education. Due to the greatchanges in the practice and teaching of
nursing, there has been an increase in the possibilities offered by Computer Assisted Learning (CAL),
which may help meetthe new challenges to nursing education. Although CAL has been with us for
manyyears it has had great difficulty competing with more conventional methods ofeducation.

Definition:

CAL has often been used to describe the development and application ofeducational technology for a
variety of circumstances of educational technology

for variety of circumstances from the mid 1980s until the early 1990s the termCAL was often used to
refer to the development of either a single computer programme or series of programs which replaced
the more traditional methods ofinstruction, in particular lecture.1.

“Computer Assisted Learning or Computer Aided Learning is defined as

learning throug

h computers with subject wise learning packages/materials”.

Mifflin. AComputer Assisted learning can be defined as learning or teaching subjects likemathematics,
since, geography and etc. through computer with subject wiselearning package/materials.1.

It may include all types of technology enhanced learning (TEL), wheretechnology is used to support the
learning process.2.
It is said to be : “ pedagogy empowered by digital technology.”

3.

In broader sense, it may be considered as a part of E-learning.

Educational technology:

Electronic technologies that are used for learning and teaching. If teacherdo not understand how to
support learning technology use will be ineffectiveand inefficient.Goals.Presents information to be
memorized.Support for student exploration.A creative and production tool.A communication tool.

Technology can:

Help make learning more efficient by controlling large amount of data.- Motivate students.- strengthen
teaching.- work quickly and objectively.

Technology cannot:

Make friends or show respect.

Types of CAL software’s:

1.

Drill and practice.2.

Tutorial.3.

Games.4.

Multimedia.5.

Word processing.6.
Programmed instructions.

1.

Drill and practice:

Typically, drill and practice activities are supplementary to the normal teaching process. It is good for
fundamental mastery. The programme requires learningto perform specified tasks and give a feedback
on their performance.

Definition:

Drill and practice software provides exercises in which students work exampleitems one at a time and
receive feedback on their correctness.

Features:

Reinforce instruction by providing the repetition necessary to move acquiredskills and concepts into
long-term memory.Capture and retain the attention of students.Save teachers time and
efforts.Personalize instruction by meeting individual differences among learners.

Tutorial:

The tutorial program extends drill and practice by proving information ordemonstration to learners and
then requiring them to perform some input. It also provides feed-back on the input. Historically the user
will be presented withsome information followed by an activity such as questions, with appropriatefeed-
back for wrong response. A modern multimedia tutorial attempts to mimica live lecture that take the
user though a series of objective but allows the userto undertake the operation at their own pace and
still provide the option ofinteractivity with the teacher. The main difference is the emphasis on
thinkingand motivation rather than a simple stimulus response.

Definition:

A tutorial exposes the learner to material that is believed not to have been previously taught or learned.
A tutorial often includes pre-test, post-test anddrill and practice activities.

Features:

Guide the learner throughout learning from the beginning (objectives) to theend (evaluation).
Encourage students to interact, control and response t the program.

Simulation:

Simulation provides a means for learning about an environment that may not,for reasons of time,
expense or general practically be available to learner toexplore. Simulation focuses on exploration and
discovery learning. Simulationencourages learning by decision making. Role

playing simulation may

encourage learner’s interest exposure to the model. The simulation attempts to

provide the user with same type of experience with patients that they wouldencounter.

Definition:

A simulation is a computerized model of real or imagined system designed totech how a system works
and allows learners to create their own sequence forusing simulation.

Features:

Involves students into learning process.

Save money and resources.

Make experimentation safe.

Make impossible situations possible and controllable.


Let student repeat events as many times as they want.

Games:Definition:

Instructional games are designed to motivate learning by adding game rules tolearning activities.

Features:

Make learning fun and motivating.

Motivate learners via the challenge of competition.

Engage the learner in a situation where the learner is competing for a highscore.

Multimedia:Definition:

Programs that support the interactive use of text, audio, still images, video andgraphics and manipulate
tem o support learning.

Features:

Engage a variety of learning modalities.

Focus practice of skills that support transfer of learning.

Word processing:Definition:
The creation, input, editing, and production of words in documents and texts bymeans of a computer
system.

Advantages:

Time saving.

Better appearance.

Shared methods.

Features:

Storing documents for later use.

Searching and replacing words.

Checking and correcting spelling.

Creating tables.
Programmed instruction:

Programmed instruction can be described as a different way of presentingmaterials to be learned.

Programmed instructional materials are constructred inlearning sequences. The students actively follow
step by step at his/her own paceof learning. There are two types of programming.

1.

Linear programming:

In linear programming the students have to participate actively by making aresponse. They must fill in
the blanks, answer a question, solve a problem, the programme checks the response by giving the
correct answer.

2.

Intrinsic programming:

Intrinsic programming, presents new ideas through a short discussion of the materialto be learned
followed by multiple choice questions designed to test the points justdiscussed, but very few
programmed materials are suitable for nursing courses at thetime.

Nursing education setting using computers:

Whether used for information gathering or learning, the computer is being used in allfacts of nursing
education. There use in basic nursing education, both diploma and baccalaureate and graduate level is
widely reported. In addition their use in

continuing education programs and in-service education is growing at a logarithmicrate.

Factors contributing to the importance of CAL:

Tremendous growth in human knowledge and increase in the amount of informationto be learned.
Increased understanding of teaching learning process. Increaseddiversity in the setting where nursing is
practiced. Need for nurses to have skill that allow them to continue learning throughout their
professional careers.

Benefits of computer Assisted Learning:

Theoretically CAL might be considered attractive in that it is learner centered, andmay be designed
according to good educational strategies, the true effectiveness ofCAL has been questioned, scalability,
interactivity, information interactivity,autonomic student logging and multimedia content are important
features of CAL.

Scalability:

Many aspects of CAL are scalable, particularly when internet derived technologiesare utilized to produce
a CAL package. Unlike any educational media a CAL packages is digitally stored thus it may be
reproduced without error as many times asrequired. By providing access to a CAL package over a
network. Many students mayuse a single resource. Further if the CAL packages are made accessible via
aninternet browser then it becomes potentially available to a very wide audience using adiverse range
of computers.

Interactivity:

“what I hear I forget, what I see I remember, what I do I remember always.” The

nature of CAL lends itself to involving the students with the learning processes withtasks requiring
actions and dependent on the actions the student may receiveappropriate feedback leading to further
tasks. This goal-action feed-back cycle may be followed in a simple series of interactive questions, a
complex case study or evena computer simulation of a clinical situation.

Automatic of assessment:

As a student interacts with a CAL exercise it is possible to keep a record of eachinteraction on an

identifiable log life. This provides a convenient option to check onstudent performance by checking on
the correctness of response to the CAL exercise.Further by building up a profile of how a number of
users interact with the system itis possible to identify weaknesses in the CAL exercises itself. The
automatic logs canthus help decrease both the burdens on assessing students and validating
CALexercises.

Multimedia:

The incorporation of multimedia elements such as images, sounds and video clips inCAL packages
provide more than simply added interest. Cognitive psychologistsuggests that learning is facilitated if the
student has to undertake active processing of

presented information, “mental roughage”. Different individuals learn better in

response to different media, and it has been suggested that learning may be improved by providing
information in more than one form simultaneously such as animationwit sounds.

Distance learning on the internet:

Distance learning has many benefits and CAL delivered over computer networks isan excellent tool for
education. The largest computer network, the internet, provides

millions of user’s access to thousands of sources of information. Internet chat rooms

allow a number of users connected to a website to communicate directly with eachother by text and in
some chat rooms also with sound. Internet telephony and fullvideo conferencing is becoming more
established. Teaching sociology students overthe internet has even been suggested to be superior to
teaching by more conventionalmeans.

Video conferencing:

Perhaps one of the most exciting uses of synchronous communication provide by theuse of computers is
the option of video conferencing. Video conferencing systemscan broadly be divided into desktop
systems and room systems. A desktop system isuseful for a small number of participants of each site sat
at specially configured personal computers each with a simple camera and microphone. Room based
systemsare for larger groups using much more sophisticated and expensive equipment.
Videoconferencing provides obvious improved communication through people being ableto see each
other at remote sites but requires careful planning and training to gainmaximum effectiveness.
Teleconferencing is a term that may be used whenvideoconferencing is a term that may be used when
video conferencing allows peopleat two or more sites to see live pictures with sound, where as data
conferencingallows people at different sites to view and work on a common document of life.

Web Based Learning:Goals of web-based learning:1.

Enhancing communication:
Web based education tools provide many ways to increase communication betweenclass members and
faculty. Researchers have found that adding these elements to acourse increases student motivation
and participation in class discussion and projects.

2.

Students share perspectives:

Online forums, like course talks areas, provide public areas to post information.

Each student can view other student’s answers and learn through the exposure to

different perspectives.

3.

Students experience a sense of equality:

Another benefit to using web-based communication tools is to give all students a

reinforced sense of equality each individual have the same opportunity to “speak up”

by posting messages without typically distraction such as seating arrangements,volume of student

voices and gender biases.

4.

Activity learning:

When instructors post discussion questions or short essays assignments in the online portion of a
course, students must attend to and reflect on the subject matter beforeresponding. This results in
reflection and articulation of content, as the very processof reporting and writing about what they have
learned engages student in an activitylearning experience. Students can complete assignments during
their most productivetimes.

5.

Physical location is not an issue:

Students can communicate and update each other without the constrains of date,time and place.

Advantages of web-Based learning:

Access to multiple perspectives bout a particular situation or concept.

Access to applications or instructional materials about a particular situation orconcept.

Opportunity to engage in an interactive environment.

Access to and organization of a lot information quickly.

Opportunity to interact with experts.

Easy to transfer information and data, any time of the day.



Promotes self regulation learning, view information at your speed nodeadlines.

Creates a record of information and when it was produced.

Opportunity to enhance your creatively and perception of ideas.

Promote non-linear, non-directive, open ended thinking.

Time to formulate ideas and thinking to improve presentation.

Disadvantages of web-based learning:

Simulation experience is not as exciting or beneficial for students.


Information is not necessarily valid or correct.

Can be distracting because the computer is more inviting than the teacher.

Content is not always most appropriate for learning.

Could be misused and not applied in a meaningful way.

Computer and internet access are sometimes slow.

Changes the experiences of research if you are not physically going through books.

Internet does not always have information you are looking for.

Hard copies are earlier to read.


Decreases personal communication skills. Promote non-linear, non-directive,open ended thinking.
(Students and teacher can love sense of direction).

Advantages f computer assisted learning:

Computer assisted learning is ideal for distant learning such as the Open

University as you don’t need a lot of teacher contact.

The student can learn in their own place which is different than the traditionalapproach were everyone
learns together at the same place which could leave people behind which can be bad if the person have
learning difficulty.

Computer based environments are sometimes used to simulate real situationssuch as operations etc,
this is ideal as the students can experience the situationin a safe environment.

Programs can be put to CD-ROM or DVD or internet so people can get hold tocontent easily.

Disadvantages of computer assisted learning:

Need a computer for computer assisted learning.


Computer based learning lowers the teacher’s role: teacher who has felt secure

in their role as dispensers of information may feel uncomfortable. As they findtheir role as dispensers of
information may feel uncomfortable as they findtheir role changing to that of facilitator moderator and
co-ordinates.

The nurse educator must have knowledge about the use of computer.

CAL lack the human and emotional factors which are available in the normalclassroom lessons in which
the teacher is present to internet with student.

With excessive use of CAL, competence of students takes a backseat.

CAL provides more mental and physical fatigue as compared to other methodof instruction.


As the student cannot interact with computer in the human language, themechanical responses by
punching the keys can become dull and frustrating.
