Question

Computer managed instruction
advantages

Answer 1

The thesis argues that modifications can be made which mitigate

many of the disadvantages so that CMI systems such as Pathfinder can be

incorporated into defensible educational programs for adults.

The thesis begins by establishing some background, goals, and

parameters for the critique that follows. Chapter Two describes the nature

and key features of CMI systems, and in particular, those of the Pathfinder

Learning System. Chapters Three and Four outline, respectively, the major

advantages and disadvantages manifested in the Pathfinder Learning

System for use in ABE.

In the final chapter, principles and conditions are presented which

may enhance the delivery of CMI learning by nesting it within an adult

education design that places greater emphasis on empowering the learners

to become more self-directed.
