Computer Assisted Learning From the survey of literature we can easily find that most commonly the micro-computers are used in teaching of chemistry are used for handling of experimental data, e.g. interfacing with a gas chromatograph, monitoring and controlling clock reactions and the calculations of numerical constants. 

Last but not least Barke and Sileshi [20] formulated a Tetrahedral-ZPD chemistry education metaphor as another framework to prevent students misconceptions (see Fig. 2.4). If chemical education is to be a discipline, it has to have a shape, structure, clear and shared theories on which testable hypotheses can be raised. At present we are still in some respects dabbling in chemistry education alchemy, trying to turn lead into gold with no clear idea about how this is to be achieved. Some factions proclaim a touchstone in some pet method such as Problem-Based Learning or Computer-Assisted Learning or Multimedia Learning or Demonstration, while others are dabbling in... 

This example, although it is very small and trivial (but the reader may also think of doing the same with contexts of much larger size) demonstrates an interesting form of computer assisted learning or knowledge acquisition by successively collecting information on objects. Here is a brief description of the method that can be used ... 

Computer-assisted learning or CAL (also called computer-assisted instruction or CAI) has been around quite a long time now, but the advent of the inexpensive microcomputer in the past 10 years has given great impetus to the use of such machines in education, both in teaching and in management...
