On-line computer managed instruction: the first step

Published: 17 November 1970 Publication History

Abstract

Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) is a term employed to designate a system which ". . .uses the computer to help the teacher administer and guide the instructional process." The major features of CMI are diagnosis and testing, analysis, record keeping, and prescription. Diagnosis and testing is used to evaluate each student's performance at regular intervals. The results are then analyzed to update the student's record and to provide a prescription which suggests the learning process the student should pursue to achieve his objectives. A computer-generated prescription would assign the student to one of several teaching-learning units consisting of textbooks, films, slides, or any of a multitude of technological media.
