Instructional Support System (ISS): An Overview for Instructional Personnel
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 included the operational test and evaluation of the software, rehosting of the software to a validated ADA compiler, 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 a modular format, enabling it to run on machines ranging from micros to mainframes, and is available through the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). This is the third of three volumes on the Instructional Support System (ISS). This volume contains an overview for Instructional Personnel to determine if ISS is the correct medium for a specific training application. It provides information on the major training development and management features of ISS. This document is designed for personnel involved in instructional design activities who have a general knowledge of CBT. It emphasizes the various ISS elements used in training development, management, and evaluation. (kr)
