- W230197062 abstract "Today's school and university courseware is pretty boring stuff, consisting almost exclusively of text with an occasional illustration. The same is true of Internet-based courseware, which is mostly just text with hypertext links. Click a button, and you get more text! Drop in on almost any class anywhere, and you'll find mostly just text - whether it's in the textbook, in the children's storybook, on the overhead, scrawled on the chalkboard, in the handouts, on dittos for seatwork, or displayed on a computer projection screen. There's so much text in teaching that maybe we should make teachers take required courses in penmanship, typography, and page layout! Obviously there are a few exceptions to my sweeping condemnation of today's courseware, but only two examples come to mind. First, the Waterford Institute's early-language software contains interactive computer courseware, a colorful age-appropriate library of books that is given to each child, videotapes for home use, audiotapes, and CD-audio discs.(1) Years of work and millions of dollars have been invested to design software for each grade level. To date, two grade levels have been completed; really good courseware is tough to produce. The second possible exception is in the area of human anatomy or biology. Various medical schools have produced an array of visually exciting and highly interactive courseware. For example, there is the human anatomy software called A.D.A.M. (There is an informative Web site at www. adam.com.) Although I haven't seen such a high-tech biology course, I am convinced that the components are available to create one. Courseware of Tomorrow Tomorrow's courseware will be radically different from today's. It will be what I like to call high-performance or high-fidelity courseware. Tomorrow's high-performance courseware: * will consist of high-resolution multimedia - still images, audio, stills synched with audio to form slide presentations, digital video, animations, 3-D images, virtual reality, and total-immersion virtual experiences; * will be highly interactive and have text, but only when text is the best means of communication; * will be visually stunning and inviting (who said all the gorgeous high-fidelity media have to be in the movie theater'? I envision a time when the likes of George Lucas will make courseware!); * will be stored and distributed digitally - that is, stored on servers and delivered via networks similar to Internet2 (see Power Tools for January 1998); * will abstract, organize, and summarize vast amounts of material, such as educational research, in new and more appealing ways;(2) * will contain intelligent agents that monitor, coach, and assess student performance;(3) * will result from the collaboration of professors, teachers, artists, graphic designers, new media specialists, project managers, production houses, and businesspeople; and * will have been tested and redone until it works. Instructional Design For Tomorrow's Courseware The instructional design used to structure tomorrow's courseware will be unlike today's designs. As a discipline, instructional design has come a long way since the days of programmed learning and by frame design of instruction. High-performance courseware will use ideas like those developed at Xerox Corporation's Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). PARC research led to the windows interfaces used on most of today's microcomputers. PARC also did some interesting early work on intrinsically motivating instruction.(4) Designers of tomorrow's courseware will also take advantage of advances in cognitive science.(5) Components of Tomorrow's Courseware When designing tomorrow's electronic courseware, it is helpful to think of a as having the following kinds of elements. Static course materials. Textbooks, syllabi, reference works, certain handouts, data sets, video segments, reading lists, interactive tutorials, and other course materials often remain static over time and can be delivered to students in bulk form in a course package. …" @default.
