Video with Computers

Another possibility for obtaining interaction with video overlaps with strategies using computers. It is to make the video a part of the computer material, interactive video in the best modern sense of that term.

The notion is that the computer will be making many of the decisions, will be responsible for the interaction with individual students. The computer will have at its command a large amount of video, and other media such as sound and still pictures. This material will be used where appropriate in the learning sequences, as determined by the students' progress. With this arrangement the video can be fully interactive, unlike the two-way audio just discussed.
