Implications for the Design of Computer-Based Instruction Screens.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Morrison, Gary R.; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1989
Summarizes the results of five studies dealing with screen design for computer-based instruction (CBI) and provides suggestions for their application as well as future directions for research. Chunking, text density, and screen density are discussed as variables in screen design, and current research is described. (33 references) (LRW)

Hypertext, Hypermedia, and Metacognition: Research and Instructional Implications for Disabled Readers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Balajthy, Ernest – Journal of Reading, Writing, and Learning Disabilities International, 1990
The article examines the potential impact of computer-based text technologies, called hypermedia, on disabled readers. Discussed are hypertext, the hypercard, and implications of metacognitive research (such as author versus user control over text manipulations), instructional implications, and instructional text engineering.

In Search of a Happy Medium in Instructional Technology Research: Issues Concerning External Validity, Media Replications, and Learner Control.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ross, Steven M.; Morrison, Gary R. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 1989
Proposes directions to help researchers balance instructional technology goals with the performance of well-designed and scientifically sound studies. Issues concerning the external validity of studies, use of media replications, and learner control as a means of adapting instructional strategies to individuals are emphasized, and designs for…

Designing Instructional Hypertext for Use in Lecture Note Review: Knowledge Engineering and Preliminary Testing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kelly, Anthony E. – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 1993
Describes the design and exploratory use of an interactive hypertext program, SKEIM (Shell for Knowledge Engineering, Instruction, and Measurement), that was developed to record university students' review strategies of a set of lecture notes. Topics discussed include domain experts; navigation; text display guidelines; and the relationship of…

Hypertext: Technology, Applications, and Research Issues.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tsai, Chia-jer – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1989
Reviews the historical development and technological features of hypertext, a computerized nonlinear text system. Three major areas of applications are identified: (1) instruction, (2) electronic publishing and online databases, and (3) thinking and authoring tools. Research issues in document processing and education are also discussed. (28…

Computer Assisted Instruction: Effectiveness and Text.
Berger, Gertrude – 1988
The current state of computer assisted instruction (CAI) in kindergarten through grade 12 is discussed. Four formats for CAI--drill, practice, tutorial, and simulation--are defined, and a set of criteria for distinguishing between effective and ineffective CAI are described. Comparisons are made between human and computer tutors. In response to…
