Abstract
This chapter is based on presentations made at the Computer Based Instruction symposium, however the presentations have been expanded upon, or amended, in order to become current. The chapter sketches the history of Computer Based Instruction (CBI) and provides a rationale and context for NATO interest in CBI in military training. Lastly, it focuses on highlights of issues to be covered in the subsequent chapters.
The opinions expressed in this chapter represent the opinion of the authors and in no way reflect any official position of the U.S. Army.
