CAI programs at the University of Minnesota

Abstract

CAI programs, which may be characterized as drill and tutorial, in use and under development at the University of Minnesota are described and discussed within the context of the more fundamental concerns of research and development into teaching and learning effectiveness. Examples chosen from German language, symbolic logic, legal procedure and clinical medicine programs illustrate student-program interactions. The programs show the results of research analyses of the knowledge and skills to be learned in each of the subject matter areas and studies of what the learner is required to do in order to learn.
