Description

A computer-controlled videodisc training system described by Bunderson et al. that delivers interactive computer-assisted instruction through display control, response analysis, conditional branching, and learner-data storage.

Components

  • Intelligent videodisc training delivery system (VTDS): An intelligent videodisc system is a configuration in which a computer drives the videodisc player's functions instead of manual control, adding to consumer-player capabilities all the capabilities of interactive computer-assisted instruction. The report reserves the title for a computer capable of generating the better-known CAI functions, and describes delivery software functions including display control, response acceptance, answer analysis, conditional selection and generation logics, and a student data area. It introduces the requirement and opportunity for interactive software delivering intelligent and semi-intelligent interactions between the soldier and the system. (Bunderson et al. (1980))
