Feasibility Study CD-i Application for Training at the Royal Netherlands Airforce (Mogelijkheden CD-i voor opleidingen Koninklijke Luchtmacht)
Abstract
The report describes the feasibility of Compact Disc Interactive (CD-i) for the Royal Netherlands Airforce training program. At the School for Military Leadership and Educational Science a proper domain for CD-i experimentation was selected, the domain of training media. As there was no good authoring system available for creating a CD-i, the production of the B-version as well as the final production of the research CD-i was carried out by a CD-i specialized firm, whereas the scenarios were designed by TNO in cooperation with the Royal Netherlands Airforce. The project learned that the best approach for producing a CD-i is to prototype a CD-i with an authoring system for CBT on a PC environment and then convert it to CD-i. Overall conclusion is that CD-i for training is less flexible than a multimedia PC environment, but for presentation like subjects with much video and requiring only mouse interaction and no storing of student results between sessions, CD-i could be a sufficient solution. However decreasing prices of multimedia PCs and more flexible options for video presentations make it really worthwhile to consider using multimedia PCs instead of using CD-i players.
