    1. Definition.
    1.1 Instructional software is a software designed to deliver instruction.

    2. The multimedia features of instructional software.


    The instructional software functions have features such as videos, audio, and
    animations in order to be effective. Such features help the learner to explore
    and to be creative. Developers feel that instructional software will be more
    popular if it reflects the interactive, eye catching characteristics educators
    who reveal flexibility and student see in video games and on the internet.

    3. The taxonomy for the classification of instructional software.

    3.1 Theme: Instructional software

    3.2 Drill and practice software is software which provides exercise in which
    students work example items and receive feedback on their correctness. Drill
    and practice help the learners to be able to recall what they have learned
    3.2.1 Three types of drill functions are:

    a) Flash card activity


    This is where a student sees a set number of questions presented one at a
    time. The student types an answer and program respond with positive and
    negative depending on whether or not the student answered correctly.
    b) Branching drill
    The software moves student on to advanced questions after they get a
    number of questions correctly. It may send the back if they answer a
    certain number wrong.
    c) Extensive feedback activities.
    Students get more that just correct/incorrect feedback. Some programs give
    detailed feedback on why the student got a problem wrong.

    3.2.3 Three criteria for the effective drill-and-practice software and point
    out two requirements for the feedback provided by a drill and practice
    exercise

    • Control over the presentation rate

    a) Students should have sufficient time to answer and examine the


    feedback before proceeding to later questions
    b) A student usually signals readiness to go to the next question by
    simply pressing the key.

    • Answer judging

    a) A good drill program must be able to discriminate between


    correct and incorrect answers.

    • Appropriate feedback for correct and incorrect answers.

    a) Feedback must be simple and display quickly


    b) Some programs motivate the students to get wrong answers by
    giving more exciting feedback for wrong aswers than for correct
    ones.

    4. Definition of automaticity.

    4.1 Automaticity is a drill practice which help the learners to recall


    easily

    4.2 Three advantages of drill practice in an educational context.

    a) Drill and practice inform the students immediately whether or not their
    responses are accurate
    b) Computer based practice motivate students to do the practice they need
    c) Saving teacher time
