Abstract

As computer technologies have advanced rapidly, a new model that differs from traditional educational methods, computer assisted instruction (CAI), has been promoted extensively in recent years. Among CAI researchers, there is growing consensus that CAI systems in networked cooperative learning environments are likely to be more flexible and also much more efficient. In this paper, we propose a solid framework for a hypermedia CAI system in a distant cooperative learning environment. Essentials for the whole system are well defined and put into operation. A prototype of a hypermedia-based computer aided learning system is presented. A simple network monitoring protocol is also implemented to supervise and control the learning environment. Numerous experiments have shown that teachers and students alike benefit greatly from using our system.
