Interactive video is a new method of instruction which
has great potential. Already, the techniques developed
are being used effectively by companies with training
and information dissemination needs covering large and
diverse organisations.
This Field Study is an attempt to explore the
possibilities interactive video has for education.
Since the techniques are new and still developing
quickly, it was necessary to spend a significant amount
of time learning about the possibilities for the medium
and developing new techniques for the particular
application described in this Report.
There are a number of facets to the development of a
learning package which uses new technology and new
techniques. All these facets must be explored to make
sure the techniques incorporated in the package being
developed fit together properly, to make the learner's
experience an effective one.
Video production, computer programming, computer
assisted instruction and subject matter expertise are
the major facets of interactive video, and all have had
to be explored to some degree in this Study. For the
writer, a media producer with mainly film and video
production experience, video production on its own was
not a great problem, but computer programming and
computer assisted instruction techniques, and the
integration of all the various elements of the package,
was new ground. Subject matter expertise beyond the
writer's skills was available from other sources.
This Report covers the development of the Study from
the investigation of interactive video as a new
technology, through an exploration of the techniques
required to produce materials for it, finally to the
development of an experimental package designed to give
the writer some practical skills in the use of
interactive video, and insight into its usefulness as a
medium of instruction in a practical setting.
