Microcomputer Assisted Instruction in Orthopedics

Abstract

Using an IBM compatible, 16 bit and advanced basic language, microcomputer, we devised a computer assisted instruction (CAI) program of case study in Orthopedics. A trial was then made an our house staffs (2 Orthopedics residents and  5 resident equivalents) . The efficacy of CAI as a teaching aid and users’satisfaction was evaluated with satisfactory outcome.

This report aims at showing the favorable acceptance of CAI as a teaching aid and at arousing its acceptance as a new kind of technology suitable for various adaptation in academic use.
