A study of remote industrial training via computer-assisted instruction.

During the latter half of 1965, several field engineers received their required training in new computer technology through remote computer-assisted instruction (Cal). Students at terminals located in 4 major cities communicated, through Teleprocessing facilities, with a computer system located cent...

      ab: During the latter half of 1965, several field engineers received their required training in new computer technology through remote computer-assisted instruction (Cal). Students at terminals located in 4 major cities communicated, through Teleprocessing facilities, with a computer system located centrally. Students' examination scores, course completion times, and attitudes were compared with those of other students who received the material through self-study texts in use at the time. CAT students scored lower on 1 part of the examination, but completed the course in considerably less time than the self-study students. Attitude scores were somewhat equivocal. Students who had been exposed to both CAI and self-study texts indicated a strong preference for the former. When compared to a "regular classroom" type of presentation, however, the self-study students rated their method slightly higher than did the CAI students. CAI students' attitudes appear to be related to the availability of assistance when course material problems are encountered. Additional findings from locally trained CAI students are presented in support of this interpretation.
