Chapter 16: Superimposing Visual Cues and Captions Over Slides to Teach Computer Operations

A demonstration of a media package for group instruction in computer operations will be presented. The package consists of slides, captions stored on a filmstrip, and an illustrated workbook. Detailed sequential procedures can be shown to the students through a slide presentation, thus saving expensive computer time. The media packages can also be used by individual students who wish to review the laboratory exercises. Each slide presentation closely follows the steps of a sequential laboratory procedure. This new captioning system allows verbal explanation and cues such as circles and arrows to enhance the meaning of the visuals. The workbook closely follows the slide presentation and includes prints of selected slides. This system allows revision of captions, workbooks, or slides without revision of the entire instructional unit.
