2/72.2.2 CAI, CAL, CBT, CBI, CBE, CBL, CMI, CML ... ?
When you browse the literature you can find many acronyms which are not used in a very consistent manner. Computer-based tutoring (CBT), computer-based instruction (CBI), computer-based learning (CBL) and computer-based education (CBE) are the broadest terms and can refer to virtually any kind of computer use in education.Computer assisted instruction (CAI and computer assisted tutoring (CAT) are narrower terms and most often refer to drill and practice, tutorial or simulation activities. CAI can be used instead of teacher-directed instruction or as a supplement to traditional education.
Computer-managed learning (CML) or computer-managed instruction (CMI) differ from those previously mentioned. They refer to the use of computers as an administrative resource to organize student data and timetables or for indexing libraries.
``Courseware'' is another widespread term for CAI. It is mainly used for systems which are more open, and don't necessarily obey the Skinner paradigm where every exercise has to finish with a question [Sch96].
