The measurement of the affective (qualitative) influences of computer-assisted interactive video instruction on the learner and attendant enhancements for the overall learning experience are highlighted. Formal factors considered are interactivity via buttons and other event-oriented objects, hypertext, semantic memory, and successive…

Interactive videodisc controlled via hypermedia has the potential to create a virtual world in which novice teachers can experience and reflect upon problems of practice. This article describes case materials being used with elementary teacher preparation programs to provide a "field experience" with exemplary science teachers.…

This paper focuses on the philosophy and development of an inquiry-based, level three interactive videodisc project for promoting critical thinking. The contents of the project include life, earth/space, and physical science with three discs in each area. Two flowcharts show the choices open to students in the videodiscs. (Author/YP)

Reports on a study into the effectiveness of implementing an interactive videodisc science lesson on titration into a high school science program. Describes the titration lesson and the equipment used in two chemistry classes. Results were generated from achievement and attitude instruments, along with observational data. (TW)

Describes the three levels of interactive video and what is known about its instructional effectiveness. Lists 33 videodiscs available for science education. Discusses the uses of interactive video in science teaching. (MVL)
