The intersection and interface of computer graphics and computer-assisted instruction

Abstract

The trap of "reinventing the wheel" could cause us to neglect the tools already developed. Instead of a negative or dreaded aspect, the possibility of turning this potential liability into asset should be investigated. Increasingly, computer-assisted instruction and computer-managed instruction seem to be gravitating toward the inclusion of computer graphics. The ultimate extrapolation of this tendency would seem to be the symbiotic relationship generated and controlled through the interaction of the person and the machine. The burgeoning world of video applications could probably be viewed as the fine edge for teaching and learning via a computer. As a result of this conclusion, this thesis provides research into the possible and actual synergism generated by CAI and computer graphics.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
