Instructional Support System (ISS): An Overview for Managers

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 second of three volumes on the Instructional Support System(ISS). This volume contains an overview of ISS to assist managers in determining if ISS is the best medium for their specific needs. (kr)
