Interactive Video Software
Article Abstract:
A description of three types of interactive video systems includes Level One interaction, in which the students' interaction simply involves the choice of a cassette to view. An excellent example is a series of music lessons called Auroscope, which teaches music sight reading. Level Two interaction uses an industrial video disc player and a microprocessor to allow students access to specific learning segments, which students can learn at individual rates. One example involves a lesson on Vincent Van Gogh. Level Three interaction requires a computer which is linked to a video cassette recorder or video disc player by an interface. This software combines video imagery with computer programs which allow students to proceed at their own pace. Two examples include Ghostwriter, a user-friendly authoring system for producing Level Three lessons, and thirteen lessons produced by Phoenix Films to be used in science, social studies, language arts and mathematics.

Interactive Video
Article Abstract:
An interactive video system is described as the linking together of a video cassette recorder with a microcomputer in order to make use of all the features of the computer and video. It is suggested that interactive video lessons can be developed by adapting already available videotapes. This adaptation is described in a step by step procedure. The advantages of interactive video are that the same videotape can be used to create different lessons, the availability of authoring languages for teachers who are uncomfortable with BASIC programming, and the saving of classroom time. Videotapes can also be adapted for instructional packages, and the creation of video lessons are a good class project. Included, are a six-point procedure for creating an interactive video instructional lesson, a description of four types of interactive video lessons and a list of where to find video interfaces and authoring languages.

Electronic Teaching: Interactive Video Lessons
Article Abstract:
Interactive video lessons can be produced with the use of a personal computer, a video tape recorder and monitor. Appropriate lessons for a video system include text stored in memory, file on videotape, self-paced instruction and simulation. Descriptions for creating a video lesson are included in the article. Lessons can be developed using BASIC, or an authoring system.
