Programmed instruction. Programmed instruction is the name of the technology invented by the behaviorist B.F.
Skinner to improve teaching. It is based on his theory of verbal behavior as a means to accelerate and increase conventional educational learning. It typically consists of self-teaching with the aid of a specialized textbook or teaching machine that presents material structured in a logical and empirically developed sequence or sequences. Programmed instruction may be presented by a teacher as well, and it has been argued that the principles of programmed instruction can improve classic lectures and textbooks.[1] Programmed instruction allows students to progress through a unit of study at their own rate, checking their own answers and advancing only after answering correctly. In one simplified form of PI, after each step, they are presented with a question to test their comprehension, then are immediately shown the correct answer or given additional information.

IT IS an idea any overworked teacher would welcome - computers that automatically mark piles of exams and homework. Tens of thousands of students around the US are already being evaluated by such systems. But can we trust the artificial intelligence that powers them to make appropriate judgements? Two new real-world tests suggest that it can work surprisingly well. In one experiment, conducted at the University of Central Florida in Orlando between January and May this year, Pam Thomas tracked the impact of an automated grading system on the performance of the 1000 or so students in her first-year biology class. The students answered questions using SAGrader, an online service developed by Idea Works of Columbia, Missouri. She says her students like SAGrader because it provides feedback on their work in less than a minute.
