With the invention of the microcomputer (also referred to personal computer), the PC has become the tool for program instruction. They saw its potential for individualization in learning, especially as individualized learning is a problem since teacher usually with the class of forty or more learners. The computer-assisted instruction (CAI), can be a tutor in affect relieving the teacher of many activities in his/her personal role as a classroom tutor. The available computer and CAI software, teacher must insure that the students have the needed knowledge and skills for any computer activity. The students also in CAI play their own roles as learners as they receive information and understand instructions for the computer activity and so forth. In CAI the computer too plays its roles as it act as a tutor, provides a learning environment, delivers learning instructions, provide feedback and reinforces learning through drill and practice.

The computer can be a tutor since it allows the individual students to learn at their own pace, motivate learning through a challenging virtual learning environment. It assists students through information needed during the learning process and also gives the total score to evaluate the student’s performances.
Application:
As future teacher, we must engage to the computer that explaining the student the good purpose of the computer not for playing or as part of their daily activities which play games.
