Abstract or Description

This presentation will discuss computer-aided instruction (CAI), which has been scientifically proven to close achievement gaps for “at-risk” students. This mode of instruction used an online instructional tool and a graphics tablet. This presentation will detail how these technology tools can perform Vygotsky’s constructs of scaffolding by analyzing the relative effectiveness of different hinting styles, learning styles, and cognitive development levels.
