A Study of Authoring Alternatives for Training-Oriented Videodiscs.
Abstract
Videodisc technology shows great promise for use in a variety of training and information dissemination activities within the Navy. Little is known about the problems and procedures associated with the authoring of training-oriented videodiscs, however. This study addresses eight areas that are related to the problems of authoring. These include the delivery system itself (i.e., the various capabilities of players and associated computer devices), media selection during instructional systems development, instructional strategies, author mock-up and simulation prior to premastering, premastering, mastering and replication, composition of videodisc authoring teams, and evaluation alternatives. It was concluded that optical videodisc technology and the authoring technologies associated with it are still in a state of flux and are expected to be changing and evolving during the next 5 years. Thus, the Navy should not plan to deploy videodiscs widely in the immediate future. Rather, the Naval Education and Training Command and its supporting agencies should track the development of knowledge in the videodisc field, which is expected to unfold rapidly in the next 2 years.
