Based on previous research, this article describes an attempt to combine a traditional computer-based training (CBT) approach with intelligent computer-assisted instruction (ICAI) to create training materials. Hardware and software configuration of the Eurobench Workstation is described and courseware generation is discussed. (eight references)…

Discusses the structure of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) and describes the development of a new structure for ITSs that is not domain dependent and is more readily adaptable by individual teachers. Pedagogical rules that help decide how much student control versus how much teacher control is present in the system are discussed. (14…

Describes the design and implementation of an interactive video system using existing videodiscs and Apple's Hypercard for use in the teaching of cell biology to undergraduate biology students. Hypertext and hypermedia are discussed, the hardware configuration is described, and a preliminary evaluation of the completed system is reported. (five…
