This study aimed to discover the effect of mobile-assisted teaching of collocations on Iranian EFL learners’ reading achievement. For this purpose, a PET test was given to 85 intermediate EFL learners as the proficiency test. After homogenization, 30 female and male students within the age range of 16 to 30 years old from an institute in Alborz Province were selected as the participants in the ...

The rich and still expanding literature on TBLT is helping to mature both its theoretical conceptualization and practical implementation in foreign and second language education. Similarly, computer-assisted language learning (CALL) has grown as a field, with the use and integration of technology in the classroom continuing to increase and will continue to play an important role in this maturat...

We investigated the role of HUDs in CAI. HUDs have been used in various situations in daily lives by recent downsizing and cost down of the display devices. CAI is one of the promising applications for HUDs. We have developed an HUD-based CAI system for effectively presenting instructions of the equipment in the transportable earth station. This chapter described HUDs in CAI from a viewpoint of...

This paper presents a series of novel architectural-enhanced security solutions. In the crosscompilation link stage, the automated compiler extracts the intrusion model for instruction code and static data, meanwhile secure tags of each main memory segment are added at the compile time automatically. At runtime, the designed hardware observes its dynamic execution trace and checks whether the t...

Ten models are proposed for predicting a student’s final grade placement in a computer-assisted instruction curriculum from the time the student spends taking lessons. Using data from approximately 2,000 elementary students, the models are tested both for ability to predict final grade placement and for ability to describe all points observed throughout the year. Two of the simplest models, usi...

The focus of this study is to demonstrate and discuss the educational advantages of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI). A quasi-experimental design compared learning outcomes of participants in an introductory statistics course that integrated CAI to participants in a Lecture-only introductory statistics course. Reviews of participants’ identical midterm and final exams scores demonstrated tha...

Existing computer-assisted instructional (CAI) techniques for introductory biology are presently restrictive in scope, due to their focus on utilizing drills that aim for rote memorization instead of providing interaction that aids in intuitive understanding. In this paper, we discuss a prototype system for assessing learner understanding of introductory cell biology concepts using sketch-based...

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of multimedia CAI on undergraduate PETE majors' teaching of the serve in tennis. The data were obtained from 18 undergraduate students enrolled in a PETE evaluation and assessment course at Virginia Tech. Subjects were stratified by gender and randomly assigned to three groups as Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) group (n=6), Teac...

This study investigated the comparative efficiency of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and traditional teaching methods on tenth-graders’ learning of earth science in Taiwan. A total of 151 students enrolled in four earth science classes participated in this pretest/post-test controlgroup experiment. Experimental-group students learned earth science concepts through the CAI, whereas comparis...

Despite increasing use, little is known about the effectiveness of web-based instructional supplements. This study assess the effectiveness of on-line materials in principles of economics courses. We have collected data on 66 students from three principles sections that describe demographic characteristics and performance and reflect the intensity of use of web-based material. We use this data ...
