A Pilot Videocassette for Education: Development and Design

The new educational technology which emerged in the 60s with the advent of computers, television, film, and other media failed to have a significant impact on learning. After analyzing the failure of educational technology during the past decade, the features and potential of videocassettes as a learning tool are explored to show how they can succeed where earlier hardware and software failed. However, teacher and student acceptance of cassette learning should not be taken for granted. Instead, outlined here are specific proposals making this teaching mode relevant to the present generation of media-oriented students and teachers. With these groups taking an active role in its development, cassettes are seen as leading the way toward creating a learning process which effectively combines information and technology.
