Instructional Support System (ISS): Upgrading the Vax Prototype and Development of the Zenith-248 Micro-Based ISS

Abstract

This report describes several efforts that led to the development of the Instructional Support System (ISS) from prototype research and development (R&D) software toward a production computer-based training (CBT) system that supports both computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and computer-managed instruction (CMI). These efforts include the operational test and evaluation of the software, rehosting the software to a validated Ada complier, development of MicroCMI and interactive videodisc capabilities, development of critical user and system documentation, and design and development of a micro-based version of the software to run on IBM-compatible hardware. ISS is a Government-owned product, written in Ada in modular format, enabling it to run on machines ranging from micros to mainframes, and is available through the National Technical Information Service (NTIS).
