The Application of Computer Aided Instruction in Course of Elements of Information Theory

In order to solve existent questions of CAI (Computer Aided Instruction) in university teaching, the course of Elements of Information Theory was taken as an example to describe how to use the CAI. According to characteristic of this course and teaching law, CAI could be used correctly and reasonably by some methods which could wake up the interest of students, such as the combination between writing on the blackboard and electronic blackboard writing, color matching, the combination between dynamic state and static state, the presented amount of information and the control of speed, the interaction between teachers and students, the diversity of CAI and so on. The practice shows that the proposed teaching method based on CAI contributes to play the leading role of teachers and the subject status of students. The learning initiative of college students could be inspired and their learning interest could also be aroused by CAI. Finally, the quality and efficiency of classroom teaching are further improved.
