The current study focuses on the effectiveness of interactive instruction CDs which was designed for pre-school students. Sixty-seven second grade students who were taking "Computer Teaching in Pre-School Education" at Anadolu University, Education Faculty, Department of Pre-school Education participated in the current study. The data…

This bibliography lists 360 monographs, journal articles, research reports, and conference proceedings on interactive videodisc and educational applications of this technology. Materials through December 1988 are included. A sidebar provides background on interactive video technology. (MES)

The author describes the making and audience testing of three interactive video programs for the education and training of managers. Results indicate that, to use interactive video's full potential, program developers must create video sequences and not attempt to use existing linear video made for continuous viewing. (Author/CH)

Multimedia instruction is a powerful training tool, but to get the most out of the technology requires a basic understanding of its capabilities, what is available, and the difference between good and bad programs. (Author)

Two rural and two urban sites in Nova Scotia received continuing medical education via interactive videoconferencing. Although limited bandwidth and video and sound quality were concerns, 72% of 46 participants felt it was as effective as face-to-face instruction and appreciated not having to travel or lose work time. (SK)

Physicians participating in continuing education delivered via interactive video and those in a traditional classroom setting did not differ in their attitudes toward the attributes of content, speaker, and program in the two methods. (SK)

A video mock-up is a "design story", described by Patrick Parrish in a recent "TechTrends" article as "imagining the journey of a learner's experience in engaging with a finished design". A design story allows designers to show their design vision to others and to observe features and benefits of the program as a learner would experience it. The…

Nine adults with hearing impairments received a speech recognition drill using interactive video disk technology which included immediate feedback and partial cuing. Eight similar adults received a noninteractive video approach with delayed feedback and no adaptive instruction. No significant differences were found between groups in posttraining…

The effectiveness of interactive videodisc for teaching word processing was evaluated with 17 students using WordPerfect and a control group of 17 taught conventionally. Results revealed no significant difference in learner knowledge, learner attitude, and instruction time between the two groups. (JOW)

Describes the nature and assessment of the first interactive videotape instruction (IVI) program for coping with speech fright. Finds that students in the IVI condition achieved significantly higher immediate and delayed cognitive test scores and significantly greater reduction in speech fright over a four-week period than did students in the…

At Dalarna University, Sweden, modes of communication are offered at many points of Kenning's continuum with a web-based learning platform, including asynchronous document exchange and collaborative writing tools, e-mail, recorded lectures in various formats, live streamed lectures with the possibility of text questions to the lecturer in real…

The main purpose of this study was to identify the effects of two major components (ie, video and group discussion) of problem-based video instruction (PBVI) on college students' learning. To achieve this purpose, this study examined whether or not PBVI can improve learner satisfaction, comprehension and retention by comparing the results from…

Sixty-three studies which investigated cognitive achievement effects following interactive video (IV) instruction were integrated through a meta-analysis technique. Overall, mean achievement effect for IV was .530 (corrected for outliers), indicating that IV is an effective form of instruction. The effect is similar to that of computer-assisted…

Discusses the effectiveness of interactive video systems and their use in teacher education programs. Reports on preservice and in-service teacher education programs that use interactive video are reviewed, and topics for future research using a component-based definition of interactive video systems are suggested (41 references) (LRW)

According to responses from 68 of 91 faculty who had taught via the Washington Higher Education Telecommunications System, most felt lecture, question/answer, and case studies were equally or more effective via distance education. Although concerned about loss of active involvement with students, 89 percent were satisfied with telecommunications…
