Guidelines for using locus of instructional control in the design of computer-assisted instruction

Computers offer a variety of instructional control options to designers of computer-assisted instruction. However, the amount and type of instructional control is affected by both the nature of the learning task and learner characteristics. The purposes of this paper are to present empirical evidence on locus of instructional control, and to present guidelines for determining learner versus lesson control in computer-assisted instruction.
