Educational tools like EdPuzzle, PlayPosit, and Kaltura have gained recent attention, as they purportedly empower educators to incorporate questions, quizzes, and discussions into instructional videos. However, there is no empirical evidence on how or under what circumstances these platforms may impact students' learning. A quasi-experimental…

The various criteria upon which interactive video courseware can be judged are outlined. The criteria relate to the critical areas of program usage, content, interactivity, production, presentation, design, and programming. The mnemonic HICUPPP is introduced to describe seven key areas that categorize criteria which can be used to evaluate…

The criteria in this guide for evaluating interactive video instructional programs are based on principles of learning and motivation, and emphasize the design, production, presentation, and usage of interactive video programs. Presented in the format of a rating scale, the criteria are grouped into nine broad categories: (1) information about the…

Discussion of transactions in computer-based instruction for ill-structured and visual domains focuses on two transactions developed for meteorology training that provide the capability to interact with video and graphic images at a very detailed level. Potential applications for the transactions are suggested, and early evaluation reports are…

This paper describes the role of formative evaluation in the development of a museum videodisk project entitled "Earth Over Time," which was sponsored by 15 museums of the Interactive Video Science Consortium. Targeted for 10- to 12-year-old children who have come to the museum with their parents, this earth science videodisk covers…

Discusses the integration of videodisc technology into classrooms and presents criteria for evaluating the interactivity of videodiscs. Three levels of interactive videodiscs (IVD) are described, and a criteria checklist is included that evaluates skill development, simulation, feedback, the interaction of the student manual with the electronic…

Continued advances in computerized training technology allow for a better link between instruction and evaluation. The use of computer-controlled audio and video feedback takes the automation of a mastery learning approach with its frequent shifts between instruction and testing a step further and begins to blur the distinction between training…

Describes the Interactive Video in Schools (IVIS) Programme developed in the United Kingdom; discusses IVIS as a strategy for innovation; explains various forms of software and the nature of interaction; and considers issues of interactive video and educational improvement, including integration into the curriculum and the relationship between…

Describes an evaluative study of the use of interactive video in elementary and secondary school mathematics in the United Kingdom. The "Stepping Stones" game is described; and issues for the design of interactive media are discussed, including high quality sound and visuals, interactivity and pupil support, and activity off the…

This study evaluated the design and effectiveness of an interactive videodisc package which was developed at the Open University for a second level course in metallurgy and materials technology. Based on an existing 25-minute television program from the course, the disk put the problem in the form of a court case assessing the responsibility for…

Describes the repurposing of a Public Broadcasting Service television series, "Newton's Apple," into interactive videodisks for middle school science classrooms. Topics discussed include the goals of the project; components of the videodisks, including video, still photos, print materials, teacher's guide, and software; and feedback and…

Describes a project implemented at Newport News Shipbuilding that used Virtual Environment Training to improve the performance of submarine crewmen. Highlights include development of the Auxiliary Machine Room (AMR) Watchstation Trainer; Digital Video Interactive (DVI); screen layout; test design and evaluation; user reactions; authoring language;…

Discusses the importance of both formative and summative evaluation of instructional design technology in educational and business settings. Topics discussed include interactive video, computer assisted instruction, courseware, industrial training methods, cost effectiveness, learner performance data, current research, computer simulation, and…

Development and evaluation of interactive videodisc (IVD) courseware for English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) instruction are described. Effective listening and viewing strategies, identified through descriptive research, were incorporated into an existing ESL IVD. Subjects, 81 college ESL students, were pre-tested, then divided into control and…

Addressed are the history, methodology, and instructional benefits of self-instruction video as a component of speechreading instruction with adolescent and adult hearing-impaired individuals, focusing on: factors in video lesson design, advantages of various hardware alternatives and computer-assisted learning, instructional evaluation methods,…
