This study examined the use of interactive videodisc technology in a physical education methods course. It was designed to: (1) evaluate the use of interactive videodisc technology by physical education majors; (2) describe the amounts and type of control utilized by learners using interactive videodisc technology in a controlled learning…

This review of evaluations of interactive video completed from 1985 to 1989 includes only those evaluations that pertain to the instructional use of interactive video, are included in a database, and are in the public domain. Examination of 19 evaluations reveals that many of them were conducted over brief amounts of time, and that the programs…

Four major education and training markets for multimedia products are: (1) industrial training; (2) management and professional education; (3) medicine and the health sciences; and (4) formal education, including public, higher and adult education. The industrial training market refers to the development of nonmanagerial, technical, and…

Discusses the stages two universities followed when developing interactive videodisc case materials for elementary school science instruction: (1) collaborating with classroom teachers; (2) videotaping classroom lessons; (3) editing the videotape; and (4) developing the hypermedia. Other components of the project include creating an instructors'…

Delivery and formatting techniques for technical materials have traditionally been determined by common sense, not cognitive theory. In fact, for hundreds of years, verbal messages in the form of lecture and print have been the primary method of disseminating information to the learner. To move beyond verbal messages and toward the assimilation of…

Three students with mild disabilities, in grades 5 and 6, participated in the project. Integrated media (IM) is defined as the linkage of text, sound, video, graphics, and the computer in such…

The World Wide Web is evolving from a collection of texts linked by hypertext and hypermedia toward services that operate interactively with the information user, and which offer results through use of a broad spectrum of tools. This paper presents a collection of interactive WWW services. The services are classified on the basis of the client…

Arguing that good screen design is an important part of good instructional design for computer-based training, this article describes how to design screens to facilitate learning and provide for appropriate student-computer interaction. Topics discussed include general text and graphics design, screen layout, use of color, and effective design for…

Discussion of interactive educational technology (IET) focuses on a case study using a hypertext-related concept of interactive video to teach interviewing skills to graduate students. Topics discussed include teaching professional interpersonal skills; intelligent computer-assisted instruction; learning processes; learner control; teacher roles;…

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a computer-based system that would allow interactive video developers to integrate and manage the design components prior to production. These components of an interactive video (IVD) program include visual information in a variety of formats, audio information, and instructional techniques,…
