Chapter 3 ENGLISH GRAMMAR - COMPUTER AIDED INSTRUCTION

SYSTEM FOR QUEZON CITY ACADEMY

3.1 Introduction
One of the most important reasons why the students like learning in the
environment that computers have to offer is due to the fast-paced and entertaining
multimedia which makes their learning experience worthwhile and enjoyable. ComputerAided Instruction packages of today are more user-friendly and entertaining than their
predecessors. As the manifestation to the developments, the developers intend to propose
a Computer-Aided Instruction in the English subject for Quezon City Academy to
provide a system that will encourage, guide and aid the students in focusing to their
studies.
Since computers are capable of processing, retrieving, collecting, organizing and
restoring data, developers coined the term information system.

3.2 System Design Specification

The system would have different lesson presentations like audio, pictures and
texts. The system will only cover the lessons (pre and post) assessments. The lessons that
will be covered by the system is based on the references and lessons that are found in the
textbook and other papers provided to us by Quezon City Academy and guidelines of the
English Teachers.

password to access the system. The log-in module has three access levels; for the
Administrator, teachers, and students. Also, this module is divided into three: the
Students log-in module; the Teachers log-in module; and the Administrator log-in

lessons. Whether the student passed or failed of the said assessment, the module will be
forwarded to the lesson proper where the presentation of lesson will be held. The postassessment is where the examination activity of the students will take place to determine
the learning capability of the students. The questions of the pre and post assessment
