Description
The purpose of this study was to identify the factors
affecting the success of computer-assisted instruction (CAI)
programs in selected colleges and universities. Related
questions of interest were posed and answered: What are the
greatest problems or obstacles encountered in establishing
a CAI program? What incentives are offered to faculty members
who develop CAI curriculum materials? Do programs
stand better chances for success when initiated by top level
administrators? Are faculty attitudes deemed important
factors in successful implementation? The study concluded with several recommendations,
two of which follow: (1) A national coordinating agency for
instructional computing should be established; and (2) college
and university administrators should implement computer
literacy courses and require them of all students.
It was also recommended that future researchers might determine
the following: (1) The nature of computer literacy
courses in a sampling of schools and the value of the
courses in the lives of recent graduates, and (2) if extensive
instructional computing facilities in a college or
university help attract outstanding students and faculty
members.
