Education TechnologiesPrint: textbooks, study guides, workbooks, coursesyllabi, case studies
Voice: audio conferencing, radio, tapes
Video: Slides, videotapes, real-time moving imagescombined with audio conferencing
Data: Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) Computer-managed instruction (CMI) Computer-mediated education (CME): electronic
mail, real-time computer conferencing, and WWWapplications AET
Educators focused on instructional outcomes, not the technology of delivery
What is AET?
AET: Educational Models using CS and communication technology to improve
education quality access to learning facilities management communication
Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
CAI modes:drill and practicetutorialsimulations/gamesproblem-solving
Computer Managed Instruction (CMI)
Uses the computer:organize instructiontrack student
records/progress
Computer Mediated Communication (CMC)
Applications to facilitate communication:
electronic mailcomputer conferencingelectronic bulletin boards
Computer-Based Hypermedia
Computer tools to integrate: voice, video, computer technologies (e.g.
HTML, VRML, Java, Active X)into a delivery system over
WWW
Advantages of Computers
Individualize learningIntegrate graphic, print, audio/videoCD-ROM technologiesComputers are interactiveInnovations are constantly emergingComputers increase access
Limitations of Computers
Networks are costlyTechnology is changing rapidlyWidespread computer illiteracyStudents must be proficient
WWW & AET
