Arguing that the systematic application of knowledge about instruction to videodisc technology is essential if the full potential of this medium is to be realized, this paper begins by discussing the need for intelligent videodisc technology in our educational system. A brief review of the state of the art in intelligent videodisc systems, which…

Discusses the role of the graphic technologist in preparing computer screen displays for interactive videodisc systems, and suggests screen design guidelines. Topics discussed include the grid system; typography; visual factors research; color; course mobility through branching and software menus; and a model of course integration. (22 references)…

Based on previous research, this article describes an attempt to combine a traditional computer-based training (CBT) approach with intelligent computer-assisted instruction (ICAI) to create training materials. Hardware and software configuration of the Eurobench Workstation is described and courseware generation is discussed. (eight references)…
