Discusses advantages and problems of utilizing 16mm films, videotapes, and videodiscs in classroom instruction; lists additional sources of information for videodisc related materials; and makes recommendations for classroom video usage. (MBR)

This study used collaborative interactive group action research (CIGAR) to answer research questions about the use of video teleconferencing (VTEL) as a distance learning tool to enrich the preparation of preservice teachers. CIGAR, for the purposes of this study, is defined as a group of preservice teachers and university researchers actively…

Digital video is becoming increasingly ubiquitous. Most camcorders today are digital, and computers are being advertised based on their video editing capabilities. Many exciting research projects are investigating how to search, visualize, and summarize digital video, but there is little work on new ways to support the use of the video beyond just…

Examines the design and implementation of an interactive video, distance learning program developed for the Federal Aviation Administration's Center for Management Development. Program evaluation suggests that instructors were most effective as learning managers, that course consistency and detail were essential, and that visuals were most…

Describes a course on contemporary French culture that was based almost entirely on Minitel sources of authentic texts created for a French audience. Students were able to examine documents relating to geography, education, government, and daily life and draw their own conclusions about French attitudes and beliefs conveyed through these…

Twelve full-time production specialists employed at universities were studied to determine the role they play in the development of live, interactive, video-based distance education programs. Data collection consisted of qualitative methods: interviews, observation, and concept maps. Findings show that television production specialists fill…

Describes a model called EPOSODE (Enhanced Procedural Orchestration through Student Observation and Detection of Errors) that uses performance errors to teach and assess procedural knowledge via computer-based interactive video (CBIV) technology. Two prototypes based on EPOSODE are described, and Anderson's theory of procedural knowledge is…

Reports on the use of interactive television as a medium of education for nursing students. Compares this method to traditional teacher lecture method. Found that although students may prefer the human interaction, the learning results may be equivalent when the alternative medium is used. (Author)

This third installment in a series on instructional videodiscs for teachers focuses on the equipment needed to bring videodisc programs to the classroom. Videodisc delivery systems are explained, players and monitors are described, and three types of computer-controlled systems are discussed: hybrid systems, peripheral systems, and integrated…

This article presents a rationale for development and implementation of computer based interactive videotape (CBIV) in preservice teacher education; identifies advantages of CBIV simulations over other practice exercises; describes economical production procedures; discusses implications and importance of these simulations; and makes…

Describes the uses of the Amiga computer, a "digital canvas" that creates computer-generated art and graphic displays. Examines how computer-graphics programs can be used in a course that is totally interactive with the computer. (MM)

Results of the first Canadian field-tested interactive video for language learners using real conversation demonstrate how simple technology, used properly, can increase students' motivation, drive, and effort. (25 references) (Author/MSE)

Describes "KanjiCard," an interactive self-tutorial program for beginning students of Japanese to learn Kanji, Chinese characters used in the Japanese language. The Macintosh-developed approach uses "HyperCard" technology, computer-assisted animation, and voice digitizing to achieve enhanced graphic presentation. (Author/CB)

The basic information needed by trainers who wish to use video to achieve training outcomes is presented. Topics covered include (1) uses of video; (2) video equipment; (3) prerecorded video; (4) feedback via video; (5) management approval; (6) program development and production; (7) external contractors; and (8) interactive video. (CH)

Over the past decade, Brigham Young University has developed many interactive videodisc programs for personalized foreign language instruction, from early prototypal projects to current HyperCard and Toolbook packages. A broad description of the different models, their variations, and their implementation is provided. (Contains seven references.)…
