Educational tools like EdPuzzle, PlayPosit, and Kaltura have gained recent attention, as they purportedly empower educators to incorporate questions, quizzes, and discussions into instructional videos. However, there is no empirical evidence on how or under what circumstances these platforms may impact students' learning. A quasi-experimental…

Recent technology trends evolved the student assessment from traditional ones ("pen-and-paper" and "face-to-face") to modern e-Assessment system. These modern approaches allow the teachers to conduct and evaluate an exam with huge number of students in a short period of time. Even more important, both the teacher and the…

For the forty-first time, the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) is sponsoring the publication of these Proceedings. Papers published in this volume were presented at the annual AECT Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. The Proceedings of AECT's Convention are published in two volumes. Volume 1 contains twenty-seven…

The various criteria upon which interactive video courseware can be judged are outlined. The criteria relate to the critical areas of program usage, content, interactivity, production, presentation, design, and programming. The mnemonic HICUPPP is introduced to describe seven key areas that categorize criteria which can be used to evaluate…

Describes a general framework for the evaluation of sets of links for user navigation between images in pictorial data banks and gives an example of the construction of a connection graph in a large image bank. A study of user navigation behavior in this set of links is described and the results are discussed. (18 references) (LAE)

Interactive videodisc technology offers tremendous potential for enriching instruction. Although more and more videodisc technology is appearing in schools, the technology is not being utilized fully. To provide assistance for teachers, a study was conducted at the University of Florida which evaluated commercial science videodiscs and developed…

Considers reasons for the lack of acceptance of video communication; examines differences between spoken characteristics of video-mediated communication and face-to-face interaction; and evaluates two video communication systems in the United Kingdom, an Integrated Services Digital Network and LIVE-NET (London Interactive Video Education Network).…

This guide is intended to assist cooperative extension personnel in developing, using, and evaluating interactive videodisk programs designed for adult learning situations. The first part of the guide discusses the benefits of interactive video as an instructional medium and describes a pilot project funded by the Extension Service and U.S.…

This report provides administrators, school boards, and policymakers with data to help them in the decision making process related to distance education systems. A literature review covers theories of distance education, distance education today, the economics of distance education, distance education and technology, transmission systems, and…

The criteria in this guide for evaluating interactive video instructional programs are based on principles of learning and motivation, and emphasize the design, production, presentation, and usage of interactive video programs. Presented in the format of a rating scale, the criteria are grouped into nine broad categories: (1) information about the…

Defining metacognition as the set of skills and strategies one uses in monitoring and modifying how one learns, this paper addresses ways in which interactive hypermedia/multimedia instructional programs might enhance the meta-cognitive abilities of the learners who use them. It begins by identifying key issues and approaches to metacognition,…

Discussion of the effectiveness of distance education presents a framework for understanding three of the primary variables that comprise the design and delivery of distance education: teaching method, media attributes, and delivery mode; and emphasizes the importance of discriminating between them when evaluating instruction. Considers online…

Discussion of transactions in computer-based instruction for ill-structured and visual domains focuses on two transactions developed for meteorology training that provide the capability to interact with video and graphic images at a very detailed level. Potential applications for the transactions are suggested, and early evaluation reports are…

In order to meet the needs of the High Plains Intermountain Center for Agricultural Health and Safety, research was conducted to develop product evaluation methods for instructional videos. Compiling suggestions from the literature and synthesizing the instructional design methodology of several researchers, an instrument was developed to help a…

This analysis of the evaluation literature on interactive video describes nature of the evaluations, reviews information on the effectiveness of interactive video, and discusses what the evaluations offer for improvement of interactive video design and use. Implications of these evaluations for the conduct of future studies are noted. (MBR)
