Computer Managed Instruction, an educational approach using computers to deliver, track, and assess learning.
Acronym formed in the 1960s-70s as educational technology developed. Combines 'computer' from Latin computare 'to calculate' with 'managed' from Latin manus 'hand' and 'instruction' from Latin instruere 'to build up.'
CMI was one of the first systematic attempts to personalize education using technology, predating modern adaptive learning systems by decades but sharing the same goal of tailoring instruction to individual needs.
