Computer-Based Instruction (CBI): Considerations for a User-Oriented Technology Data Base.

Abstract

This report documents 1) an analysis of feasibility and 2) the development of a preliminary structure for a computerized data base on capability and availability of computer-based instruction (CBI) technologies within the Department of Defense (DOD). It concludes that the proposed data base, although logistically complex, can be developed and would be of considerable value in providing ready access to technology information for a variety of DoD users. Rationale for recommendations is based on review and synthesis of the CBI research and development (R&D) literature, structured interviews with a cross-section of potential data base users, and an analysis of existing R&D data bases. This report provides a first step in the data base development process, that of examining the user requirements, issues of importance, and potential development considerations. It also describes the subsequent requirements leading to creation of a user-oriented R&D data base for CBI technology. (Author)
