A Portable Program to Present Courseware on Microcomputers

摘要

In computer assisted instruction, certain main functions which have to be carried out by the computer can be distinguished. The performance of these functions will have different software and hardware requirements in different educational environments and boh the requirements and the technology to implement them will change over time. It is therefore advantageous to make CAI systems as adaptable as possible. One approach to this is th divide the systems into independent modules each designed to achieve good portability both for software and for hardware. This paper describes such a module which is part of the Modular CAI System Delft. The program makes it possible to present on different types of microcomputers courseware designed using other modules of the system. The program is implemented in Pascal to yield maximum portability on modern microcomputers. Its features and portability are discussed.
