A CLASSROOM FOR CAL

A CLASSROOM FOR CAL

PURPOSE• To provide background

knowledge.

• To assess the teaching process.

• To review and reinforce.

• To promote foundation mastery.

• To promote remediation.

TYPES1. LOGO.

2. SIMULATION.

3. CONTROLLED LEARNING

LOGO - CAL• This system was developed by

Feurzing and Papart.

• It is the instructional procedure for learning the programme language through simple tasks.

• The simple programme in logo system are concerned with generating design on the screen which students do by folowing instructions.

• The programme provides instructions that can be used to produce pictures on an oscilloscope or make a little machanical robort.

Children learn to logo make up their own programmes to draw flowers or faces or generate designs on the screen.

SIMULATION - CAL• In simulation method the

programmes in computer enable the students to mount an experiment in symbolic form.

CONTROLLED LEARNING

• It provides a course of study in an instructional sequence on the pattern of branching programme.

HOW TO DEVELOP A CAL PROGRAMME

COMPUTER ASSISTED WRITING

INSTRUCTIONS

COMPUTER PROGRAMMES FOR WRITING

• WORD PREDICTION.

• SPEECH TO TEXT.

• TEXT TO SPEECH.

• SPELLCHECKER.

WORD PREDICTION• SPEECH: Specific programmes

that identify words students use repeatedly; when a student types the first few letters, the programme lists the frequently used words that start with those letters.

SPEECH TO TEXT• Student speak into a microphone

and the programme types the words.

have typed to check if it says what they want to say.

• Good for editing.

SPELLCHECKER• Students can identify

misspelled words.

• Automatically corrects words if the teacher sets to the programme that way.

EXPERTS NEEDED FOR

CAL

1. COMPUTER ENGINEER.

2. LESSON WRITER.

3. SYSTEM OPERATOR.

ROLE OF A TEACHER• The teacher will be liberated

from his routine duty.

• The computer assisted instruction can complete the language data accurately and rapidly.

ADVANTAGES• Facilitates

instruction to a large number of students.

• Reduces the work load of the teachers.

CAN REACH LARGE AUDIENCE

• Promotes multiple dimensional learning.

• Promotes interactive learning.

• Provides immediate feedback.

• Increases mastry of fundamental concepts.

• Improves motivation through reward and interaction.

• Builds confidence among students.

• Promotes critical analysis and problem solving among students.

UPDATING OF LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION

CAL A PRECURSOR FOR MOBILE BASED LEARNING

DISADVANTAGES• Produces mental and physical

fatigue.

• The facility requires time and money.

• It is very espensive.

• It is a mechanical approach to education
