- Abstract:
Computer-assisted learning (CAL) was heralded in the 1970s and 1980s as the mechanism whereby educational institutions could cope cost-effectively with large numbers of students. Accordingly, many institutions brought computing into the curriculum and taught computing for its own sake. Since those early days, academic departments have shifted their emphasis away from the acquisition of computing skills to using computers as a means of demonstration and using specific e departments within educational establishments to adopt CAL as part of their learning strategy. The paper discusses the importance of starting with the pedagogy, rather than the solution (CAL) and by so doing a correctly targeted strategy should be developed. Within the learning environment CAL should be thought of as a strategic resource which can be used to offer students a learning experience matched to their preferred learning style and which enables them to capitalize on their strengths, while minimizing the impact of their weaknesses or which assists them in developing beyond their weaknesses. The paper discusses preferred learning styles and shows that CAL is only one of a range of solutions which may be arrived at and which all have a place within the learning strategy.
