Computer Teaching Strategies & Distance Learning Flashcards
Strategies that used to communicate information to students & nurses in a time saving way & to teach critical thinking & problem-solving process.
Computer Teaching Strategies
refers to any kind of computer used virtually in educational settings
Computer Based Instruction (CBI)
is a narrower term & often refers to: Drill-and-practice, Tutorial, Simulation activities
Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
The use of computers & software (usually offline) to manage the instructional process & to produce lesson prescriptions based on student history and test performance.
Computer Managed Instruction (CMI)
- Caters to the Individual
- Promotes Active Interaction and Use of Target Language
- Lets Students See Their Progress
- Breaks Down Complex Topics into Smaller Pieces.
- Interesting and Engaging
Advantages of Computer Assisted Learning
→Management administration system designed to track students’ performance over a period of time
→ Provide information concerning performance trends
→ Record individual and group performance data
→ Schedule training and provide support for other training management functions
Functions of CMI
A worldwide & publicly accessible series of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP).
Internet
A ___________ that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, & government networks w/c together carry various information & internet based services.
“network of networks”
- A technology w/c allows the user to interact w/ a computer-stimulated environment, real or imagined
- Often used to describe a wide variety of applications, commonly associated w/ its immersive, highly visual, 3D environment.
Virtual Reality
Includes computer learning & other ways of giving instructions to students w/o the usual classroom setting.
Distance Learning
→ People from rural areas or those who
are homebound can have greater access to information & even educational degrees.
→ A larger of variety of courses are accessible.
→ Ability to learn on one’s own time frame, the self-directed nature of the learning experience & the opportunity to learn more about technology.
Advantages of Distance Learning
→ Lack of face-to-face contact or noninteractive process w/ the teacher.
→ Technology problems w/c may be similar to systems shutting down & being inaccessible.
→ Some may not learn well w/ less structured educational experience.
→ Others may struggle to use the technology while learning the content at the same time
Disadvantages of Distance Learning
