5 FORWARD TO THE SECOND EDITION

The sales and comments from the first edition of this book have led to the writing of this second edi= tion. The book has gone through extensive changes, clarifications and corrections. This is nOt to say that the bookig fret_of errors, but it should give the reader a better idea of the videodisc industry as:it is teday with respect to education and training: The in- dilstry has_ gone through many changes in the past months; and the book will not necessarily reflect all of those changes. Only those changes that effeet the use of this medium in education and training have been directly discussed. The focus has been kept On the use Of the technology in education with specific ink:inflation concerning appropriate hardware and_ SciftWare to provide a single-source reference for educators _and trainers_. This edition has added several new features that are hoped to be of use to the readers. The opening introduction to capacitive videodiscs has been replaced by a discussion of the new Laserfilm technbl- ogy by_McDonnell Douglas. A section in the VideOdiSc Software appendix has been added for Vo- catiOnal Education. Many of these discs may be appropriate in an academic or a vocational setting.

6 PREFACE

This handbook is designed to be a source of information for educators about interactive videodisc. It does not attempt to he a detailed reference of the technology. It is, rather an overview of the technology, offering additional sources _that you cat: consult for more detailed information. This should help educators find the appropriate eguipment and software for any specific application. The book also serves as a staaing point for many educators who know nothing of the_technology; and assists ymi in deciding whether the technology is worth pursuing as an educational tool in your specific situation. The listings of equipment and software contained here are the result of a search of the listed publications, plus the attendance _at professional confeiences. Although there may be other products available that are not included_in this handbook, the listings none- theless reflect a good_portion of the videothsc,related products available today. Because ot' the fast pace of the industry, many of the prices quoted here may have changed by the time this book is distributed. The prices do, however, still provide a good indication of a general price range of specific items. The products listed are all for use with NTSC (American) standard television equipment unless otherwise specified:

INTERACTIVE: LEVEL THREE

Any disc player iinerfaced with a microprocessor is a Level Three disc system. The Level One players with computer ports can be interfaced into a Level Three configuration; so can the Level Two players with interface ports. All of the disc players onthe market today can be upgraded to a Level Three system with the exception of the Pioneer model LD- 838D. Several advantages of the Level Three system are obvious. There is a large increase in the available memory, and the use of high-level math functions allow wore sophisticated programming. This technology is the combination of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and high quality visuals. There are several players on the market designed to work exclusively with microcomputers.

Although these units are highly effective in large-group situations, they can be very difficult and expensivet0 maintain. Fot example, the light valve system used in some projectors has a life expectancy of about 1,000 hours. Replacing the light valve costs about $17,000.00 for parts alone, so the use _of such a system_would have to justify the cost not only of purchase, but repair and maintenance as well. On a whole, large television monitors not only are moredurable and_ take less maintenance than do the projection units, but they also have a sharpetpic- ture. The self contained projectors are fairly inexpensive and offer a minimal amount of maintenance: They also have the larger screen and thus can accom- modate more viewers. The projectors with a very large image and rear screen capabilities are expensiv and only should be considered when a capable tech- nician is available; The listings in Appendix B are selected television monitors, self-contained television projectors, and mountable television projectors. This listing in no way represents all of the units in the market. The listed units are known in the field and are readily adapted to videodisc applications. It should be stressed that television specifications do not always give an accurate representation of the video_ image. Because television image reproduction is very subjec- tive, you should view every television unit prior to purchase.

The price of the system rises with increased interface ca, pabilities, The price of the computer itself can be an important:factor. An IBM-PC, for example, is much more costly than the:ATARI-800. The cabinet or enclosure that comes with several systems adds a sizable sum to the total price. So do peripherals that are included io the system. Several systems require minicomputers or mainframe computers; and allow you to network several terminals on one computer. These systems can be desirable in many situations. The primary manufacturers that support such systems are Control Data Corporation with the PLATO system, Digital Equip- ment Corporation with the IVIS system; Hazeltine Corporation with the MicroTICCIT system; and WL.

Interactive Videodiscs 15 CHAFFER 9. INTERACTIVE VIDEODISC AUTHORING TOOLS

There are two tools available to the instructor to higher the cost of the tool, the more options and create interactive videodisc lessons: authoring systems flexibility. Again, these options often might require and authoring languages. Each system or language is the purchase of a separate hardware unit: designed to be compatible with one of the major computers on the market. It is crucial in the selection of an authoring tool that the desired system or language be correct for the microcomputer that will be used: Specific options such as high resolution graphics and graphic overlay are supported by many of the_ available tools, but it should be emphasized that the purchase of a specific graphics or graphics overlay board is almost always necessary. Authoring systems are computer programs allowing an individual; without a computer background to design interactive lessons on a microcomputer. Each of the systems on the market varies in its ability to perform the more complex routines including the controi of videodisc players. The less expensive sys:- tems tend to be very limited in their ability to handle any graphics, graphics overlay, peripheral device inputs, answer judging and record keeping. The more expensive systems can usually handle these functions easily: The most commonisystems are menu driven. In other words, a series of menus take the user through the programming possibilities and allow the user to make decisions based on available options. The menu driven systems are easy to use, and nsu2lly take no understanding of computer programming. All of the actual computer code is generated by the authoring system based on the user responses to the menu questions. The authoring_languageiis a computer language that requires knowledge of the language and the programming techniques to implement the desired teaching strategies. Authoring languages generally offer more versatile options than authoring systems as they are not locked into a set pattern of choices; but the languages give up_ the ease of use that the systems offer. The primary functions of these languages are not difficult to learn, but it does take a good deal of experience to understand and program the more complex routines. The knowledge and creativity of the programmer is_nonnally the_most limiting factor of any language. Examples of an authoring language would be BASIC, Pascal or C. _Appendix H lists several authoring tools that are designed for interactive videodisc applications. Each of the listed tools offers a 'slightly different approach to the development of an interactive lesson, but all should give the same results for a basic lesson with multiple choice or true/false branching; Normally; the

The optimal conditions; of course lies somewhere in between, It is wise to let equipment warm up for a minute or two if it is moved from a cold room to a warm room. This will allow any moisture that has collected to evaporate. Al-
