在反思哪些计算机辅助学习(CAL)非常成功时，本文认为，对于什么技术或软件类型的特征使CAL成功，并没有一概而论，相反，最确定的成功似乎来自于一件课件与其特定于该利基的使用情况之间的紧密契合。这些情况通常是教师分析在现有情况下哪些方面特别薄弱，并思考如何利用技术来解决这一瓶颈。通常情况下，这项技术并不特别创新，但它与这一利基市场的需求非常匹配。本文通过参考一些软件来阐述这一论点，这些软件彼此之间几乎没有共同点，但都证明了它们都能有力地促进学习。
In reflecting on which pieces of computer-assisted learning (CAL) stand out as strikingly successful, this paper argues that there are no generalizations about what features of technology or software type makes a piece of CAL successful, but that on the contrary the most definite successes seem to come from a close fit between a piece of courseware and its situation of use that is specific to that niche. These are usually cases where a teacher analysed what was particularly weak in an existing situation and thought of how technology could be used to address that bottleneck. Often the technology is not particularly innovative, but it is a close match to the needs of that niche. This paper develops this argument by reference to a number of pieces of software which have little in common with each other, but all of which have proved to promote learning powerfully.
