Computers can aid the teacher in the production of task cards or skill cards and can also be used to provide information and instructional modules to individuals or groups. When connected to laser disc players, videocassette players and other peripheral devices can capture students' interest through multimedia presentations. A wide variety of computer software programs are available that lead students through tutorials on various sport or fitness concepts, offering both instruction and assessment procedures. The player, instructed by the computer software, displays the appropriate live-action example. Interactive programs offer students a considerable amount of control over their own learning and the topics they wish to explore.
Technology is also very useful in the assessment process.
