Computer Assisted Learning and Occupational Training

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the potential role of the computer in occupational training. More specifically this involves firstly a systems view of the use of a computer in the training system and how it may fulfil different training functions. Guidelines are presented concerning those functions most likely to benefit from computer assistance. The advantages and disadvantages are illustrated with particular case studies in occupational training. Finally a brief indication is given of the future use of computers in training systems.
