Describes a flexible planning process for developing computer based instruction (CBI) in which the CBI design is implemented on paper between the lesson design and the program production. A four-stage model is explained, including (1) an initial flowchart, (2) storyboards, (3) a detailed flowchart, and (4) an evaluation. (16 references)…

Designed to assist in the construction of flowcharts and scripts for videotex production, this document presents a detailed look at the instructional design and production of educational videotex. Included are: a flowchart of the videotex development process; hints for effective flowcharting and script development, including frame development;…

The microterminal/microfiche (MT/MF) system described is part of a continuing effort to investigate the feasibility of a low-cost, stand-alone device for the delivery of the testing component of technical training in a computer-based instructional (CBI) environment. A description of the hardware for the system includes the basic microterminal…

This paper examines the relationship between a major instructional feature of the college course, the textbook, and computer based instructional technology. The strategy suggests that the textbook, along with the instructor, assumes the major teaching responsibility and that the computer is used in a supportive role involving information summary,…

A brief discussion of the need to define social studies is followed by methods for developing selection criteria for microcomputer programs in the social studies, a model for lesson development on a microcomputer, and evaluation criteria. The need for educators to carefully state what should be learned is emphasized in terms of controlling the…

Since the usefulness of the Interservice Procedures for Instructional Systems Development (IPISD) depends on authoring aids which enable personnel to translate IPISD procedures into instructional products, this project examined the feasibility of providing such "how to do it" guidance for the instructional design and development tasks…

This book providing direction for the planning, designing, and writing of programs for computer assisted instruction (CAI) includes chapters on the role of computers in instruction, the BASIC programing language, flowcharting, terminal commands, displaying instruction, dialogues, learning theories, the process of instruction, and the planning of…

This three-part paper describes the development of a software program called "The Growth Curve of Microorganisms" for a tenth-grade biology class. Designed to improve students' cognitive skills, the program enables them to investigate, through computer simulations, the impact upon the growth curve of a population of three variables: temperature,…

Describes a four-phased process used by the U.S. Navy for the systematic design and development of interactive videodisc (IVD) courseware (ICW) used for training. Highlights include analyzing job/task data; system design and development, including training objectives, simulations, procedural path analysis, and feedback strategies; and evaluation…
