Computer Managed Instruction (CMI) uses the computer to collect and process information to meet an increasing demand for individualized instruction. Learning goals are expressed in terms of behavioral objectives for a given curriculum. Student performance is monitored through computer input and feedback; this allows an accurate and frequent check on a student's progress. A pre-test, diagnosis, prescription, and post-test sequence is used to establish objectives and to evaluate performance. The Automated Instructional Management Systems (AIMS) developed at New York Institute of Technology is a CMI system which emphasizes collection monitoring, student progress, and prescription information.
