Using interactive videodisc in training contexts

Interactive videodisc (IVD) represents the fusion of video and microcomputer technology so as to exploit the strengths of each whilst minimising the weaknesses of each. Research related to IVD is reviewed here to establish learner effectiveness, user acceptance, training time savings, design considerations, cost considerations and the contribution of interactivity. Implications for teaching and learning are explored. © 1993, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
