Abstract
Background: Computers have changed the method and process of
education for ever. Historian Eric Ashby has called this technology the
fifth major revolution in education- the first four being, education by
professional teacher, development of the written script, invention of
printing and recognition of pedagogy as specialized science 1. In the
field of medical education too, the use of computers will be taken as
granted 2. Computer aided programmed as a teaching-learning tool,
has several advantages, as the computer never gets bored or irritated,
does not make mistakes on its own, permits the learner to decide his or her
own pace of learning and does not develop positive or negative bias
towards the learner and more importantly, stimulate the “cognitive”
process of the students 3.4.
