The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of traditional instruction (TI) plus Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) versus TI alone on college students' achievements in an introductory computer science course. This study was conducted at a small government university in Jordan using a Quasi-experimental, nonequivalent control group design. A courseware was developed to investigate...

Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) programs are considered as a way to improve learning outcomes of students. However, little is known on the schools who implement such programs as well as on the effectiveness of similar ICT-programs. We provide a literature review which pays special attention to the existing causal evidence of computer-assisted programs on learning outcomes. The paper relies ...

IN THE PAST FEW DECADES, COMPUTER-ASSISTED LANGUAGE Instruction (CALI), or Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), has been of interest because of its potential for providing individualized instruction. Interactivity between the computer and the learner is one of the important elements in CALI. Compared to a traditional textbook or workbook, a CALI program can provide immediate feedback on ...
