 INTRODUCTION

Education is a crucial field of study that aims to teach and learn effectively in
schools and universities. It aims to equip individuals with the necessary
knowledge, skills, and values to lead fulfilling lives and contribute to society.
Education encompasses more than just academic subjects like math and science,
but also involves social and emotional learning, critical thinking, problem-solving,
and communication skills. It is a lifelong process that commences at birth and
continues throughout a person's life. Education is not only about acquiring
knowledge or obtaining a degree but also about developing skills and values that
contribute to personal growth and social and economic progress.

This section is divided into three sub-parts.

What is Computer based Learning?

Technology-based education, also known as E-learning or virtual education,

involves the use of technology to facilitate learning and teaching. It includes
electronic devices and digital platforms like computers, tablets, smartphones, and
the internet, to access and deliver educational content. It comes in different forms
like online courses, virtual classrooms, educational apps, and digital textbooks. The
virtual learning environment is an excellent choice for people who enjoy
self-learning as it allows for a self-paced learning option. Computers, along with
internet facilities, are the most powerful tools that children can use to learn new
skills and abilities in education, and they play a significant role in every field of
life.

Why is there a need for technology in education?

Traditional Education is a conventional method of education where a student goes

to a physical classroom to gain knowledge from a teacher who serves as the
primary source of information. In this system, the curriculum is standardized, and
students are assessed through tests and exams. While it has been the dominant form
of education for many years, there has been a growing interest in alternative forms
of education that are more personalized and student-centered.
Technology plays a crucial role in modern education, and its integration into the
classroom has become increasingly important. Here are some of the key reasons
why technology is needed in education:

students can access educational content from anywhere and anytime, which
is especially useful for students who are studying remotely, or who cannot
attend physical classes due to various reasons.
● Enhancing teacher's role: Teachers can use technology to create innovative
teaching methods, assess student's performance, and monitor their progress.
This way, they can provide more personalized attention to each student.
● Providing access to a wider range of resources: With the help of
technology, students can access a wider range of educational resources,
including research papers, articles, and books that may not be available in
their local libraries.
● Preparing students for the future: Technology is rapidly transforming
various industries, and education needs to keep up with these changes to
prepare students for the future. By incorporating technology into education,
students can develop skills that are essential in today's workforce.

The author [3] aims to improve learning outcomes by using technology to support
educational activities. Use of intelligent tutoring systems, gamification, and
adaptive learning have proven to be very effective. Intelligent tutoring systems are
a promising approach to computer-aided education, as they can provide
personalized instruction to students and adapt to their individual learning styles.
Adaptive learning, which uses data and analytics to customize instruction to each
student's needs, is a key trend in computer-aided education. However the need for
further research to ensure that adaptive learning systems are effective and fair for
all students, regardless of their backgrounds. There should be availability of such
systems regardless of resources and proper dedicated infrastructure
This paper [4] explores computer-assisted education and its success in today's era.
It emphasizes that computer-aided education enhances teaching, rather than
replacing teachers. The paper discusses the success of computer-aided education,
particularly during the pandemic. This paper highlights the crucial role of
computer-assisted education during the pandemic. The largest online movement in
the history of education with 730,000 students taking online classes in Wuhan.
Other countries developed their own online education platforms, such as
Singapore's "Lark".Byju's, an online learning app, offered free access and saw a
60% surge in users accessing their interactive videos.

The study [5] analyzed the effects of online classes on academic performance and
sought to identify both the positive and negative impacts of online learning. The
researchers used a descriptive-analytical approach and found that online learning
can have both positive and negative effects on student academic performance. The
study showed that online learning can affect students positively by offering greater
flexibility and less stress, but it can also have negative impacts such as social
isolation.
The paper [6] examines the effect of computer-assisted learning on students'
long-term development. The "largest ed-tech intervention in the world to date" was
implemented in China and connected rural students to the best teachers through
satellite internet. The positive effects of the program were observed up to ten years
after its implementation.

This paper [7] explains how computer-aided education plays a crucial role in
engineering education by enhancing the efficiency of the teaching process and
providing individual learning environments for students. Through the use of
multimedia instructional formats such as video lectures, simulations, and
animations, positive results have been seen in engineering education. Virtual
laboratories generated by computers can design objects virtually, which can
improve the quality and performance of the product. Overall, computer-aided
education has tremendous importance in engineering education, enabling students
to analyze and visualize problems and experiment with potential solutions, leading
to better design and implementation of engineering solutions.

This review paper [8] discusses the impact of computer-assisted education on

students' academic success. It explores the different teaching methods and
multimedia platforms that computer-assisted learning provides. While it does not
mean that online learning will replace traditional education, teachers can use
computer-based platforms like smart classes, videos, and web tutoring to improve
resources and reduce teacher workloads. Computer-assisted education allows
students to learn at their own pace in a co-relational environment, especially during
the pandemic. This paper aims to highlight the success of computer-assisted
education, which is widely accepted and utilized worldwide.

This research based on [9] computer aided education has numerous benefits such
as making learning easier and more efficient. With the internet as a vast
information base, it provides an enormous source of information for a wide variety
of subjects, and search engines make it easier to find the necessary information.
Computer aided education allows for easy teaching, better learning, free repetition,
and distance education. A case study conducted by Ath. Kehagias and Pan.
Vlachos called the Melon project for the Melon Foundation grant proved that
computer aided education can positively impact student learning. The study
showed that using computers in class helped to "sweeten mathematics' ' and that
students who received computer aided education outperformed those in traditional
classrooms.

This research paper [10] investigates the effectiveness of computer-assisted

education in improving student learning outcomes. It examines various forms of
computer-assisted education, including online courses, educational software, and
adaptive learning systems. The benefits and challenges of implementing
computer-assisted education in the classroom are explored, along with its potential
as a supplement to traditional instruction. The study concludes that
computer-assisted education can provide students with greater flexibility, help
address individual needs, and improve learning outcomes.

This paper [11] emphasizes the significance of computers in education and presents
the Computer-Aided Teaching and Learning (CATL) system as a solution. The
CATL system offers educational strategies that make learning enjoyable and
interactive. By integrating the teaching and learning experiences of special
education teachers, the CATL system improves the efficiency and sustainability of
the education system. As computer education is now an integral part of school and
university curricula, the CATL system enhances student performance and
interaction between teachers and students. The CATL system has achieved an
impressive 94.43% performance rate, outperforming other approaches.

The study aims [12] to investigate e-learning challenges, and problems during
COVID-19 pandemic by students and learners globally. E-learning negatively
influenced the students’ performance and learning outcomes when compared to
traditional teaching techniques. The study also found out that students faced
difficulties in accessing the Blackboard platform. The paper also found that the
major challenges encountered by the students in online learning were technical
glitches/issues. Some learners encountered network and connectivity problems,
logging into classes, and downloading course materials. Some language
communication issues were also noticed as students weren't able to effectively
interact with teachers during virtual class sessions. It is recommended that further
research should be undertaken to understand the teachers and mentor’s opinions
and views regarding online English language teaching during the pandemic.
While investigating [13] our main focus was to determine whether the response of
the system performed properly in order to improve the student learning
capabilities. Modern computer based systems help a lot of students and learners to
develop abilities by boosting learning, improving thinking, enhancing
communication skills and cooperation among them. In order to bring subjects to a
stable learning , instructors may have to instruct the subject in . Moreover, CAE
represents a very important contribution towards academic and practical research,
and intelligent CAE has the ability to recognize the emotional activity and respond
to students’ emotions in order to improve his/her learning capabilities. In this
system, methodology is linked to student learning, as well as physical behaviors
linked to emotional states. The proposed system gives feedback to instructors
which guides further treatment in case of any mood disruption in students.

The paper [14] concluded that building a smart classroom and e-learning platforms
can alter the disadvantages of conventional education systems and provide a
quality place for students to adapt and learn. For the introduction of computer
based smart classroom environments we still need to investigate, and invest in
manpower and funds support. It also found that the future of e-learning continues
to improve and will provide students, learners, and teachers with a better sense of
learning and dynamic working environment. Based on new social platforms and
mobile web technologies, the new era of intelligent classroom teaching system
builds a global ecosystem which opens up new possibilities for education.

Computer aided education [15] is now an important and integral part of the
modern education system, without which students and educators won't be able to
adapt to the dynamic learning environment. The foreign students have more
difficulties in learning higher end based science due to poor language ability and
inter communication skills, also weak science foundation. The various teaching
methods based on smart classrooms and e-learnings platforms should be used in
physical classroom teaching to help foreign students to master the knowledge and
grasp accordingly. CAE with Internet and AI technologies would provide more
choices for teaching and learning opportunities. CAE would help foreign students
and grads easily understand the complex concept and principles and methods.
 CONCLUSION

Computers are essential for education and work worldwide, offering boundary-less
learning opportunities and aiding in overcoming difficulties. Computer-assisted
learning is increasing in modern education and provides innovative approaches and
supports traditional methods. Despite challenges in integrating it into the
curriculum and evaluating its impact, computer-assisted education is crucial,
especially during a pandemic, to reach a wider audience and increase student
ability. In addition to offering easy teaching, better learning, free repetition, and
distance education, computer-aided education has been shown to be more effective
than traditional methods in some cases, such as the Melon project. However,
implementing computer-assisted education in the classroom poses challenges
related to teacher training and support, availability of appropriate materials, and
cost.. Virtual education with advanced software is expected to provide realistic
interaction with students in the future. Continuous monitoring and evaluation are
essential, and new forms like virtual reality and gamification have the potential to
improve outcomes. In an epidemic-like scenario , computer-assisted technology is
the only way to educate a large number of people, and it is the only way to
overcome obstacles.
