Computer-Based Learning Technologies and Instruction

• Computer-based learning in education refers to using computers as a central part of the educational experience. Teachers use educational websites and software to enhance daily classroom curriculum.



Examples of CBL/CAI:

Spelling City

SpellingCity.com is a website where students practice spelling and language skills. Teachers input weekly spelling lists and students play games and practice their words during the week.



These are materials that facilitate communication and cooperation between students and teachers.They utilize the computer’s network resources and the Internet.

Types of Computer-Based Instruction

1. Computer-based Learning



CSCL can be implemented in online and classroom learning environments and can take place synchronously or asynchronously.


2. Computer-supported Collaborative Learning



Any learning method that utilizes technological resources falls under this category.They have the advantage of being more interactive, cheaper and convenience.


3. Technology-Enhanced Learning



General Reference Tools

•General reference materials are academic programs which provide learning materials similar to books.




•They often include multimedia encyclopedias, dictionary and thesaurus.




•There are two types: user-generated (e.g., Wikipedia) and traditional (e.g., Encarta)



Research Tools

Research tools are resources mainly used for retrieving information from several sources.Most of these research tools use the Internet to search information.They generally include search engines, wikis, blogs, internet archives, etc.



Research Tools



•Subject-specific CD-ROMs are compact discs that contain instructional software regarding a particular topic.

Subject-Specific CD-ROMs



•They are often included as companion CDs for books.




•They tend to have a much broader scope compared to digital encyclopedias.
