Synopsis
How computers can align with learning tasks and when they truly help.
This exploration of Computers and the Learning Process shows how different learning activities pair with the right tools, from textbooks to simulations.
The book presents a two-variable model that maps learning stages against four material classes, creating a 16-cell framework. It argues that the computer is not a single solution but a set of possibilities, useful in some cells and less so in others. By examining learning aids, user needs, and cost, the text helps readers see where technology can most effectively support education and where traditional methods may still lead.What you’ll experience
- A practical model for choosing learning aids based on the type of material and the stage of learning.
- Clear examples of how tools like textbooks, lectures, drills, and simulations fit different learning needs.
- Guidance on budgeting higher education dollars to maximize learning impact with technology.
- Understand the limits of computer-based tutorials for facts and where other aids excel.
- Learn how feedback, learner control, and data manipulation shape effective learning in various cells.
- See implications for teachers, administrators, and students evaluating technology in the classroom.
Rockart’s model invites readers to think beyond “the computer in learning” and consider how each learning scenario benefits from specific tools. It emphasizes matching aid to need, rather than applying a single tech solution to every course. The discussion remains practical and focused on real classroom and campus decision making, not just theory.
