System Description - How my CAL sysem work?

This project involved in questionnaire, survey and internet application. The questionnaire is use to allow users revision on Robotic 3 in LSBU , questions and data in this questionnaire is get from pass year exam question and lectures note. Survey is use to know about feedback from users. The survey will ask about quality of questions, background colour, type of the music and some opinion from the questionnaire/quiz. A graph is then will be made to analyse the effectiveness of the questionnaire. The internet access and also the blog from the web-site is also use in this project to form good communication path from users to users and also from developers to users. By using the internet we can know the requirement from users. In the other hand, users may also know the direction of future development on the CAL system. The internet web also can be say act as a board to gather information from users and also a communication place for all users.


Advantage of CAL

In applying a system of transitional education system, we facing problem with limited time for educational activities. In principle, computer-assisted learning can be done at the individual's convenience and pace, and the same material is available to a large number of people over a wide geographical area, which standardizes the learning experience whenever the learner logs on. Modern computers with multimedia capabilities can provide an interactive learning experience. The development of high-tech computer-assisted learning programs is labor intensive, requiring appropriate hardware, backup and frequent upgrading.

In addition, a dedicated information technology staff is necessary to provide practical advice and maintenance of the software and hardware. Some people may be less inclined to use electronic resources because of perceived lack of computer literacy. This should become less common as computer skills are now emphasized at all stages of education. In addition, a dedicated information technology staff is necessary to provide practical advice and maintenance of the software and hardware. Some people may be less inclined to use electronic resources because of perceived lack of computer literacy. This should become less common as computer skills are now emphasized at all stages of education.

Below is the effectiveness and advantage of applying CAL system.
· Enhance student’s performance.
· Circumstance is more effective as some people not prefer to study in class.
· Instruction period reduce.
· Increase practical period rather than only listen to theory.
· Combination of learning and practice improvement of application technique.
· Learning happen in any places with a computer.
· Long distance education, low cost, save environment.
· Interactive of courseware
· The support of self-paced individual learning.
· Allow parts of learners who do not enjoy the privileges of being linked to an educational institution study at home.

CAL system - Saving Time and Cost

Saving time is based on long distance education; can learning in any place and anywhere. Furthermore, it save transportation fees as we no need to travel far to school and having education at home. In industrial area, CAL system helps in saving the cost training. This also means a saving in teaching time. From an investigation on a dental academic, found it save 30 teaching over a course. Shown the program period reduce 33% of time.

Objective of CAL

In here, I'll say why i'm using Computer Aided Learning


· To device and implement a system for Computer Aided Learning
· At least more than half users agreed this system is helpful on their study of Robotics.
· Fast respond, shorten show answer period. Will get know answer on spot.
· Reduce usage of paper.
· Reduce users hand carry weight. Maybe a pen drive will do.
· Allow users experience better learning process.
· Improve English language pronunciations.
· Heighten user’s receptivity on learning.
· Provide individual and flexible system for users.
· Conduct an experiment comparing the effectiveness of this system with that pf convention teaching

Why CAL - Compouter Aided Learning


Today, computing power is no longer a limitation for implementation of learning tools. The problem has moved from how to implement to what tools to implement and why. One of the newest branches of computer application is Computer Aided Learning or CAL. Computer Aided Learning is not a new phenomena, it had been induct since 60’s.

This field of education has been growing since the introduction of computers into the learning environment. Starting with the humble digital textbook, CAL has moved into the realm of creating learning environments, where the participant has the ability and necessary tools to produce their own learning paths and outcomes. CAL systems will help smart adaptive trainers that will adapt themselves to learner’s features and propose the best method of teaching. Yet, there are more remote learning and video conferencing instead of today’s traditional teaching method.

The potential of uses and advantages for CAL is great. Nowadays, some school provided laptops to encouraged teachers use it for edutainment (educational entertainment) computer-based learning for introducing new concepts to students. The use of computers in is basically vision able as a teaching and learning aid besides to develop computer literacy amongst the children.

Computer aided learning will help us to make the present teaching learning process joyful, interesting and easy to understand through audio-visual aids. Teachers will be resourced with Multimedia Contents to explain topics better. Furthermore, CAL system also provides feedback about learning performance related to how the information is presented.

Overall it will help us to improve quality of education in long learn.
