A Theory of Effective Computer Based Instruction for Adults
Intoduction: Sometimes adults feels afraid when they have a computer in front, this feel is very common in this days, but the question is why do adults feel afraid? The answer it is easy they dont have the experience to be at computer playing or using computer functions.
This study presents a theory of critical components that affect the effectiveness of computer-based instruction (CBI) for adults. The theory was developed to provide a framework for research to explain or predict effective learning by adults using a desktop computer. The five conclusions drawn from this theory are as follows: (a) the characteristics of self-directedness and computer self-efficacy of adult learners play an important role in designing CBI for adults; (b) CBI design is interwoven with the units of self-directedness, computer self-efficacy, learning goal level, instructional design, and external support; (c) learning goal level affects instructional design strategy and the instructional control component of CBI design; (d) external support and instructional support are needed to provide a positive CBI experience; and (e) the theory draws together the isolated variables researchers consider important in the adult learning process and aligns them to provide effective CBI.

Conclusion: CBI involves different methods since platforms where students can practice languages or for fun they have platforms too were they can be only playing. It is important use frequently the computer to lose that scare
