Introduction

The objective of this assignment was to select a Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) program to learn a new skill and evaluate the learning experience.

This assignment focused on using web-based instruction (WBI) such as wikis and online video tutorials or ‘screencasts’ as a novice learner of a script writing software (see www.celtx.com).

Advantages and disadvantages of using wikis and online video tutorials or ‘screencasts’ as educational technologies in distance learning are outlined based on my personal experience learning the software.
