ABSTRACT:
This paper describes the CAI project established in 1969 at the University of Leeds, and, in a nontechnical manner, outlines the projects being researched and the progress achieved.
The present system consists of the Modular One computer and 15 learner consoles, which are Teletype machines with audiovisual devices. Some consoles are remotely connected through dial-up telephone lines. The project has been oriented to research rather than to providing instructional service. Concentration has been in junior high school mathematics, English for immigrant children, university level chemistry, and applied statistics for the social sciences.
The project emphasizes adaptive teaching, the optimization of instruction by relating the teaching method to the type of learning task, and profiles of learner performance. Several experiments in adaptive teaching are discussed. The author believes that much work has to be done before adaptive systems, as defined, can be fully implemented for teaching tasks of great complexity, and that no author-language presently in use has sufficient facilities or suitable structure to achieve these goals. He concludes that, if CAI is properly used, curriculum, classroom organization, and teaching method are all influenced.
