A systems approach was applied to the development of a multimedia computer managed course in college physics for the U. S. Naval Academy by the New York Institute of Technology with funds provided by the U. S. Office of Education. The experience in the construction of the program is incorporated into a course development model to serve as a prototype for construction of similar programs in other hard science courses. Extensive record keeping capabilities of the program allow it to serve as a vehicle for educational research. The course is individualized; self-paced with an iterative process of successive tryouts and revisions. Each student's learning experience is individualized by offering optional routes through the learning materials using various media. Over a thousand measurable behavioral objectives were developed to completely specify the performance which the program should elicit. The media components, testing, remedial materials, and laboratories are described. (TS)
