ABSTRACT: Computer-assisted instruction Enhance the existing Teaching and learning
process. In fact, Technology has become an integral part of sustaining society & its infusion
with education is inevitable. CAI is one of the most popular uses of Technology in the
education system. It provides individualized & self-paced instructions to the learners in
classroom situations. It is used to present the instructional material automatically to the
learners. CAI is an instructional method that uses a computer to present the instructional
material, track learning & direct the user to meet his or her individual needs. It allows
learners to progress at their own pace & work individually. It provides immediate
understanding & feedback to the students. If the answer is not correct, the program indicates
to read the frame again & make a choice again. However, we need teachers and they are not
to be eliminated from the "teaching and learning process". But the review of related research
has shown the importance of CAI.
