The definition and uses of interactive instructional designs are presented in this book. Eight examples are given of the variety of designs available to the classroom teacher and a chapter is devoted to each. The chapters describe the usefulness of the particular design, its operation, the design format, and the method for evaluating the outcomes. The designs discussed are: learner controlled instruction; the interactive lesson plan; the construct-as-you-go lesson plan; the adjunct study guide; the core package, a technique for reinforcing weak achievement areas; the tri-level study guide with attempts to account for student entry level knowledge at three levels; the audio-workbook that combines tape recorded instructions with written experience; and the interactive text that includes all the objectives, questions, and tests within a single text. The designs may or may not involve media. (MC)
