An account of the work that has been carried out within the Educational Resources Faculty at Millfield School involving the use of sound recordings in group and individual learning systems. (Author)

The collaborative consultancy role proposed for the educational technologist requires moving beyond the linear model of the systematic approach. Instructional developers need to operate on the conceptual level, to see themselves as problem solvers within a dynamic system in which there are no straight paths, but instead, many paths and many…

This document describes an instructional analysis technique believed to be an expedient and effective alternative to the Gagne-Briggs model because, among other reasons, it is easier to teach to novice trainers. The technique is in use in the U.S. Marine Corps. The document consists of the following: an overview of the different kinds of analysis…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce, describe, and compare three individual models for designing computer assisted instruction: the Instructional System Development Model (by Alessi and Trollip); Lessonware (by Grossley and Green); and Liflander's Model (by Liflander). The comparison between these models involves criteria such as: (1) At…

Ten years after institution of the multiservice effort to develop a common doctrine and procedures for systematic development of training and education curricula, which became known as Instructional Systems Development (ISD), a U.S. Army Training Board report declared that the Army's military occupational specialties were devoid of serious…

This chapter presents the theory and research underlying Merrill's concept of learner control as an instructional system. Three levels of learner control--content-control, display-control, and control of conscious-cognitive processing--and efforts to manipulate these variables are described, and a model of external and internal learner control is…

This document contains information, based on the instructional systems design model, about the development and delivery of a 10-minute video training program to teach college engineering technology students how to use a micrometer to measure to one thousandth of an inch. The students were taught the following: (1) to identify the parts of the…

The open-systems model of instructional development (ID) proposed for use in both educational and non-educational organizations is based on an extensive examination of ID, the systems and communication/consulting literature, and the results of a nationwide survey of 750 currently active ID professionals in both higher education and…

Intelligent instructional systems can be distinguished from more conventional approaches by the automation of instructional interaction and choice of strategy. This approach promises to reduce the costs of instructional materials preparation and to increase the adaptability and individualization of the instruction delivered. Tutorial simulation…

Cost estimates for Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) depend crucially upon the particular assumptions made about the components of the system to be included in the costs, the expected lifetime of the system and courseware, and the anticipated student utilization of the system/courseware. The cost estimates of three currently operational systems…

How instructional television was utilized to develop a system whereby listening comprehension of English as a second language could be tested. (Author/HB)

During the 1975-76 academic year student response data were saved for a group of 17 freshman music majors as they worked through 15 units of harmonic dictation exercises delivered on the University of Delaware's Graded Units for Interactive Dictation Operation (GUIDO) system. Analysis of the student data base led to the identification of seven…

The following seven American programs of Computer Assisted Instruction in Medicine are among 20 implemented at the University of Bonn: OPHTHA and FUNDUS (programs of the tutorial mode), CARDI (presents information via three media on the clinical alterations of Mitral and Aortic Stenosis as well as Mitral and Aortal Incompetence), CARDIOPULMONARY…
