Machine Guided Learning
But researchers at Carnegie Mellon's Open Learning
Initiative, who've been experimenting with computer-based
learning for years, have found that when machine-guided
learning is combined with traditional classroom instruction,
students can learn material in half the time. Researchers at
Ithaka S+R studied two groups of students one group that
received all instruction in person, and another group that
received a mixture of traditional and computer-based
instruction. The two groups did equally well on tests, but
those who received the computer instruction were able to
learn the same amount of material in 25 percent less time.
