Suggests that most schools can not currently afford to make an investment in interactive video technology, and points out problems with availability of materials. (ARH)

Discussion of technological innovations that are revolutionizing traditional methods of education focuses on Multiple Perspective Interactive (MPI) video. Topics include telepresence; content-based interactivity; Gestalt Vision that combines multiple images to provide a larger picture; architecture of MPI, including information systems; the impact…

Arguing that the systematic application of knowledge about instruction to videodisc technology is essential if the full potential of this medium is to be realized, this paper begins by discussing the need for intelligent videodisc technology in our educational system. A brief review of the state of the art in intelligent videodisc systems, which…

The author discusses the implementation of an interactive video technology program in his electronic servicing classroom. He emphasizes the change in his role as the teacher. (CH)

Describes current microcomputer use in the schools for word and data processing and vocational and special education applications. Criticizes the quality of software available for computer assisted learning, and envisions future educational applications of technology. 5 references. (SV)

The concepts, vocabulary, current uses, and technical aspects of distance education are introduced in this bulletin, which is designed to assist administrators in making decisions regarding distance education. The first chapter defines and discusses distance education in general and provides an overview of current educational applications.…

This paper discusses various educational strategies for interactive videodisc design that were derived through scanning, synthesizing, and simplifying implications from a wide variety of learning theories. Four initial assumptions about videodisc technology are presented: (1) videodisc systems are more likely to be effective if learning theories…

Raises several major concerns of educators in the adoption of interactive video for instructional purposes. Identifies a number of useful sources of information for those who want to address these concerns. (FL)

Portability enables interactive courseware (ICW) and associated application programs to operate on computer-based systems other than the ones on which they are developed. Courseware portability will increase sharing of ICW across a range of instructional settings within military services and across internationally allied military services. The…

Today, at the end of 2007, there are evident consolidations in wireless, storage, and virtualization and the path forward seems clearer now than previously. Trends from last year continue strongly, particularly Web 2.0 and the shift to user-driven environments and Internet sites where significant data and video processing is available to those…

Teachers of telecommunications, broadcasting, and especially video and film production, are best able to lead the development of computer interactive multimedia instruction. Interactive instruction exists on three levels: (1) a videotape player with rewind, fast-forward, search, pause, and play capabilities; (2) a videodisc or laser disc player…

A book entitled "Interactive French Language Curricula of the Future: A Study of Computer and Video Potential" by Lydie Meunier-Cinko is summarized. Some examples of current computer and video use are outlined, with language skill applications discussed, and future design of interactive language curricula is examined. (MSE)

Explains how videodiscs operate and why they should be an integral part of the training community colleges provide. Describes the technology of videodiscs as superior to videotapes because of durability and random access capabilities. Discusses model instructional approaches, and reviews an educational interactive videodisc system. (PAA)

Briefly discusses the use of interactive video as a teaching tool and describes the steps involved in developing interactive lessons, including the choice of video materials, deciding which segments of videodisks to use, writing computer programs to control the video, testing the programs, and producing supplementary materials.
