Janicki et al4 offered a number of suggestions fordeveloping a plan for computer-enhanced instruction, based on their reviews of basic learningand instructional design theories. They stress the importance of incorporating a number ofdifferent learning styles in such a plan, including: lectures, which tell or describe facts andprocesses; demonstrations, which show the students how the facts or processes are used; andexercises, which require the students to do the processes themselves.
