CAI has been used for more than twenty years in the education of health professionals. A variety of different hardware and software systems have been used in the implementation of CAI for this population. While early CAI was written for mainframe computers, later courseware has been developed for microcomputers. Later applications have also focused on higher order skills such as problem solving and synthesis through the use of simulation. Despite the numerous reports of CAI use, there has not been a lot of research on the effectiveness of CAI in medical, nursing, and allied health education, nor has there been much work on those features of CAI that lead to improved learning. While CAI has a good deal to offer, these issues must be addressed if we are to prepare health professionals who can adapt to a constantly changing body of medical knowledge.

Abstract:This paper describes an intelligent computer-assisted instruction system that was designed for rural health workers in developing countries. This system, called Consult-EAO, includes an expert module and a coaching module. The expert module, which is derived from the knowledge-based decision support system Tropicaid, covers most of medical practice in developing countries. It allows for the creation of outpatient simulations without the help of a teacher. The student may practice his knowledge by solving problems with these simulations. The system gives some initial facts and controls the simulation during the session by guiding the student toward the most efficient decisions. All student answers are analyzed and, if necessary, criticized. The messages are adapted to the situation due to the pedagogical rules of the coaching module. This system runs on PC-compatible computer.
