| Summary: | The writers describe a computer-based programmed instruction The writers describe a computer-based programmed instruction tutoring system that aims to teach a learner how to write a simple Java™ computer program. They reveal that this system is based on a series of Java Applets, namely computer programs that are downloaded from a network server and executed by a client browser. They present performance-acquisition data to demonstrate an individual learner's progression to task completion and mastery using the tutoring system. They also provide survey data to demonstrate the subjective responses of a class of students to the use of the tutoring system. In addition, they justify the use of this system as one component within a personalized system of instruction that also includes lectures and collaborative learning experiences. |
