Describes a study of college students that was conducted to determine the perceptions of instructors and students toward interactive video distance education classroom design. Discusses results of descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and the Tukey multiple comparison method; and a classroom design model is recommended to satisfy the needs…

Discussion of distance learning focuses on a study of graduate education students that compared the content mastery and the attitudes of students in on- and off-campus courses that used interactive video. Theoretical perspectives are offered, including the conduit theory, the interactive theory, and the Salomon model. (14 references) (LRW)

This study investigated learners' preconceptions of interactive video (IV), instructional television (ITV), and television (TV), and compared three treatment groups on learners' perceptions of invested mental effort and achievement on a test of recall and inference. The three treatments consisted of an IV lesson that included practice questions…

Describes study conducted with undergraduate students to examine the combined effects of orienting activities and levels of practice on learning from interactive video. The videodisc used, "Tour of the National Gallery of Art," is described, posttests and results are analyzed, and suggestions for further research are given. (27…

This report describes a procedure for developing multimedia instructions that are "optimized" according to certain criteria, and in particular, compares the effect on performance in building from memory using: (1) interactive videodisc-based assembly instructions or (2) passive videotape instructions. It was found that the group…

This study of university students investigated effects of orienting objectives and instructional review on verbal information, concrete concept, and rule learning as determined by posttests measuring performance. Effectiveness of orienting objectives differed as a function of type of learning, but use of computer-controlled review was an effective…

Student attitudes were investigated in an attempt to determine systematic attitudinal differences among various types of instructional control. Ninety-nine undergraduate students from a basic educational media course volunteered for this study. Six interactive video lessons--covering basic technical aspects of 35 millimeter photography--were…

Discussion of the effects of variations in lesson control and practice on the learning of facts, procedures, and problem-solving skills during interactive video instruction focuses on a study of graduates and advanced level undergraduates learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Embedded questioning methods and posttests used are described.…

Describes a study of college students that was conducted to investigate the effect of two review strategies on the recall of information from an interactive video program. Treatments for the active review group, the passive review group, and the control group are described. Recall posttests and amount of time required to complete the instruction…

This study examined effects of orienting activities, processing opportunity, and varied lesson access times on college students' learning from interactive video. While practice remains dominant influence in effectiveness of interactive video, significant interactions were also found among access times, processing opportunity, and practice, and…

Describes a study of undergraduates that was conducted to determine the impact of advance organizers on students' achievement in computer-assisted video instruction (CAVI). Treatments of the experimental and control groups are explained, and results indicate that advance organizers do not facilitate near-transfer of rule-learning in CAVI.…

Discussion of learning styles and learner control focuses on a study of college students that paired field-dependent and field-independent learning styles with different instructional control treatments. The use of interactive video lessons and a printed self-study guide is described, and treatments for the experimental and control groups are…

The results of five experiments investigating the effects of forced pauses and guided processing in an interactive videodisc instructional system are presented. The results indicate that forced pauses at strategic locations in an interactive videodisc tutorial may improve achievement for some students without interfering in the achievement of…

Describes a study that examined the effects of an interactive video computer-aided simulation program on instructing preservice education majors in classroom management issues. Topics include student achievement, class rank, stages of concern, computer anxiety, learning modality, the Classroom Management Achievement Test, and student reactions.…

Describes a study that was conducted with junior baccalaureate nursing students to determine effects of learning style preferences, attitudes, and grade point average (GPA) on learner achievement when using computer-assisted interactive videodisc instruction (CAIVDI). Results are reported that indicate a strong and positive influence of attitude…
