TREND: INTERACTIVE VIDEO IS WIDELY ACCEPTED AS A RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PRODUCT, BUT NOT IN SCHOOLS AND HIGHER EDUCATION.
In 1989 there were three times as many articles in the interactive video category as there were in 1988. This reflects growth in the production and use of all forms of laser discs. For Education, it is clear that interactive video is still in its infancy and not ready for wholesale adoption. The POTENTIAL of interactive video, especially for distance education, is recognized by educational technologists and educational leaders alike, and pilot programs are being reported in the literature. However, only a small number of schools have videodisc systems, and it is likely that relatively few of these are being used interactively.
Issue:
O Can interactive video be justified as a cost-effective
teaching tool?
