An instructional designer's guide to cognitive processes in their application to the random-access interactive videodisc system

Includes bibliographical references (pages 46-54)Our educational system is under increasing pressure\ud to improve performance at a time when it is confronted\ud with increasingly difficult educational objectives. To\ud meet this challenge, the effectiveness of individual classroom\ud teachers must be enhanced through the use of educationally\ud adaptive technological resources. Such resources\ud can provide individualized interactive learning experiences\ud to students learning at different levels and different\ud rates, to prepare them for or supplement, group classroom\ud experiences. One such resource is the random-access interactive\ud videodisc system. To maximize the effectiveness\ud of such a system, it is necessary for designers of educational\ud courseware to be familiar with and utilize the\ud principles of cognitive psychology. The purpose of this paper is to provide a guide to\ud the principles of cognitive processes for designers of\ud courseware for the random-access interactive videodisc\ud system. (See more in text
