Abstract

Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) systems evolved from the computer version of the Programmed Logic for Automated Teaching Operations (PLATO) system that was originally developed in the United States. With the advent of 8-bit personal computers, it became possible to present teaching materials in graphical format. Once 16-bit computers became available in Japanese, teachers could begin to create new types of teaching materials, in addition to using a conventional blackboard. Furthermore, with the advent of the Internet, it became possible to transmit, coordinate, and share teaching materials, thus enabling teachers to provide an educational system that allows students to prepare for classes and review what they have learned. Teachers could also transmit video materials to students via the Internet.

On the other hand, the widespread availability of high-speed internet connection has made it possible to provide a complete e-learning solution as well as deliver coordinated teaching materials for strategic engineer training programs. Lectures can be delivered to students at all sites by using a teleconference system via the internet network, allowing students to register for teleclasses and receive credits for them.

This paper explores how the evolution of computer technology has led to technological innovation in the use of computer-aided techniques for the development of teaching materials.

Key words: CAI, e-learning, teaching materials, teleconference system, video materials, teleclasses
