The document imaging process involves converting

paper documents into electronic images which can
be stored on computers for easy access.
The objective of DIP is to provide a cost- effective
and stress free experience by eliminating paper and
file cabinets.
Sending and retrieving the information via e-mail.
The purpose of DIP is by managing documents
digitally businesses can benefit from reduction in
storage space, easy and rapid retrieval of
information, efficiency in information sharing as well
as access to detailed and accurate information.

How Does Document Imaging Work?

Document Preparation
The first step is document preparation, removal
of staples, paperclips and sorting the documents
in the order to be imaged, fixing torn documents.
Scan Documents
Allows users to scan thousands of pages daily
directly into their secure electronic filing
cabinets.
Index Documents
Images are indexed immediately after scanning.
The goal is simple, quick and accurate indexing
of your images.

What is CAI?
Computer-Aided Instruction (also called
Computer-Assisted Instruction) is a means
of helping students master cognitive
(academic) skills through interactive
computer programs.
CAI can employ any of a variety of
technologies, including web pages, sound,
video and animation (which are the best
technologies to use will depend on the
application and method of distribution). In
a properly constructed CAI presentation,
students:

Read a short explanation of subject matter and,

possibly, look at images, listen to sound and/or

watch a video or animation that further explains the
subject matter.
Answer one or more multiple-choice questions that
test students' comprehension of what they have
just read, seen and/or heard.
Progress to additional subject matter only after
they have demonstrated mastery of the stated
learning objectives by answering the assessment
questions correctly.

Benefits of ComputerAided Instruction

1.

Difficult concepts are made easier to

understand
- Can also be used by the student for
private study on individual PCs following
the instructor-taught lesson.

Virtual References

2.

Enhances retention of knowledge.

Document Imaging Process

3.

Greater teaching effectiveness improves

exam pass rates
- greater value for money for the customer.

4.

Greater teaching effectiveness means that

the classroom teaching content of courses
can be reduced (20% or more). Increasing
the cost-effectiveness of instructional
staff, CAI, thus, has the potential to
increase company profitability.

6.

CAI transmits difficult concepts in an

easy-to-understand, entertaining way,
alleviating language difficulties.

7.

Greater standardization of instruction.

8.

New instructors become "operational"

more rapidly than with traditional teaching
methods.
Again,
increasing

In the 1980s/ when reference sets on CD-ROM began to

appear, these were often still used by librarians on behalf
of users. The rise of open-access terminals and PCs
meant that increasingly users checked out the CD-ROM
from the issue desk and had unmediated interaction with
it - with varying degrees of frustration given that most
products had different interfaces and search methods.
With networked CD-ROMs, access could be from outside
the library/ and users had to be even more self-reliant.

A compact disc [sometimes spelled disk] (CD) is a

small, portable, round medium made of molded
polymer (close in size to the floppy disk) for
electronically recording, storing, and playing back
audio, video, text, and other information in digital
form.

Tape cartridges and CDs generally replaced the

phonograph record for playing back music. At home,
CDs have tended to replace the tape cartridge
although the latter is still widely used in cars and
portable playback devices.

Initially, CDs were read-only, but newer technology

allows users to record as well. CDs will probably
continue to be popular for music recording and
playback. A newer technology, the digital versatile
disc (DVD), stores much more in the same space
and is used for playing back movies.
Some variations of the CD includes:
