Computer Assisted Instruction in Orthopaedic Subjects

Abstract

Computer assisted instruction (CAI) is an effective instructional medium, especially in medical subjects.  It can be used in many forms such as drill and practice, tutorial, simulation and problem solving etc.  We create CAI in the forms of tutorial and simulation in Orthopaedic subjects and tryout on one group of students, the result was quite satisfactory, We compare the advantage and the limitation of CAI so that other people who are interested in this field can judge its efficiency and effectiveness.  It is hoped that CAI will prove to be an essential instructional medium in the near future.
