CBT programs can be classified as: 1. Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI), in which the program provides drill (tool) and practice. 2. Computer-Managed Instruction (CMO), in which the program evaluates the student's test performance, guides him/her to appropriate instructional resources and tracks progress; and 3. Computer-Enriched Instruction (CEI) in which the computer serves as a simulator or programming device. COMPUTER BASED TRAINING (CBT) 2
