Getting Started with Computer Based Learning

     Purpose:
     This publication aims to help newcomers to get started in
     the use of CBL and avoid the pitfalls which so often result
     in project failure.

     Description:
     Getting Started with Computer Based Learning (CBL) begins by
     looking briefly at the benefits and problems of using
     computers in education and presents examples of the
     different ways in which the computer has been used to
     enhance learning. It goes on to outline the skills necessary
     for the development of CBL material and provide a systematic
     approach to its production. It is not intended as a detailed
     guide to all aspects of computer based learning: many
     publications already provide such information for reference
     or for those who have sufficient time to study the topic in
     depth.

     Producers:
     KD Whittlestone, Dr TGB Howe and Dr JA Longstaffe
     Educational Technology Service (ETS), University of Bristol.

     The ETS supports the development of CBL material throughout
     the University and the work was funded by the Information
     Technology Training Initiative.
