This episode of Bits and Bytes is about using the computer to help teach things — what's called Computer Assisted Instruction, or CAI for short.  To understand what CAI is all about, we're going to go on an excursion into two related fields: programmed instruction and Artificial Intelligence.

Bits and Bytes was a Canadian television series, produced by TVOntario in 1983. It starred Luba Goy as the instructor, and Billy Van as the student.
