Examines the two most frequently cited approaches to making video and audio passages available to teachers in the classroom: videodiscs and digital video interactive. (HB)

Offers suggestions for improving the interaction of videotapes used for training: discussion during and after viewing, case studies, searching and skipping, and support materials. Describes features of interactive videodiscs: Socratic method, role playing, freeze-framing, random access, and customization. (SK)

Describes steps in creating computer-assisted instruction and interactive video for nursing education, including preliminary planning, user-friendly design concepts, and evaluation strategies. (SK)

The potential of videoconferencing to enrich distance learning needs to be widely recognised as well as the technology embedded in curriculum delivery and in distance learning programmes. The argument is supported by reference to a wide range of case studies from the author's experiences over a period of six years as International Officer with the…

In contrast to their traditional, non-interactive counterparts, interactive dynamic visualisations allow users to adapt their form and content to their individual cognitive skills and needs. Provided that the interactive features allow for intuitive use without increasing cognitive load, interactive videos should therefore lead to more efficient…

A socially optimized learning approach, which integrates diverse theoretical perspectives, places men who have sex with men (MSM) in an interactive virtual environment designed to simulate the emotional, interpersonal, and contextual narrative of an actual sexual encounter while challenging and changing MSM's more automatic patterns of risky…

Skill and risk taking are argued to be independent and to require different remedial programs. However, it is possible to contend that skill-based training could be associated with an increase, a decrease, or no change in risk-taking behavior. In 3 experiments, the authors examined the influence of a skill-based training program (hazard…

Little research has focused on tobacco use among deaf and hard of hearing youth. Findings are reported from a first-ever tobacco-related survey, completed by 226 California middle and high school students using either a written questionnaire or the Interactive Video Questionnaire, an interactive multimedia computer video technology. Rates for…

When analyzing open-ended or categorical questions, many times responses are cross-classified by other categorical variables. The resulting contingency tables are then analyzed using the chi square test of independence. This procedure leads to multiple significance tests and provides no method to assess higher order interactions. Loglinear…

A survey of Ray Fielding's lists of nearly 3,000 theses and dissertations on film and video produced both in the United States and abroad since 1916 revealed that only 21 of these works included any discussion of the history and theory of corporate or sponsored films. Any viable historical or theoretical methodology for film research should be…

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)

Annotations are provided for the 14 selected journal articles and 3 ERIC documents on interactive video listed in this bibliography. Areas covered include videodisc technology, applications of interactive video, system design, videodisc system selection, and findings of research on the effectiveness of interactive video. (MES)

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…

A multimedia encyclopedia (MME) demonstration disk has been developed by the Microsoft Corporation, which contains five-page articles on 12 subjects. Each article contains text, images, audio, and in some cases, animation and full motion digital images. Each MME article is constructed as a network of linked text, image, and sound files. With mouse…

An interactive videodisc program at the California School for the Deaf, Riverside, has been used to motivate language and reading experiences and increase communication skills. Improvement in hardware and software design over the course of the project period is noted and described. An authoring system has been developed which allows teaching…
