ABSTRACTThe innovative software product HyperCard™ introduced in August, 1987, and today distributed free of charge with Apple Computer Incorporated's Macintosh line of computers, has sparked a flurry of interest among computer users. HyperCard represents advanced technology that, in a short time, has been put in the hands of hundreds of thousands of users, including a significant number of instructional designers and performance technologists.This article has three sections that introduce instructional designers and performance technologists to HyperCard. The first section describes just what HyperCard is and summarizes how it works. The second section presents the theoretical background of the program, from the perspectives of both cognitive psychologists and futuristic thinkers in the computing world. Finally, the third section describes three uses of HyperCard: (a) as a database management program, (b) as a vehicle for implementing hypermedia applications, and (c) as an authoring tool. For each of these three functions, the advantages and disadvantages of HyperCard for instructional designers and performance technologists are explore

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis two year project was conducted at a major Minneapolis newspaper. It developed employee selection procedures, a performance‐based training program, and on‐the‐job performance indicators for evaluating newly hired experienced truck drivers. It yielded generalizable techniques which met validity requirements of federal guidelines for employee sele

摘要:

ABSTRACTCase materials are excellent teaching tools. They offer variety, complement traditional methods, serve as a bridge between theory and practice, and are particularly useful in learning how to solve problems, and to evaluate and judge. Case materials are problem oriented descriptions of a believable event which provides sufficient detail to allow the readers to analyze the problem/solution process.Three levels of case materials are defined: (a) case problems, which are short “snapshot” depictions of a single incident; (b) case studies, which include information on the background and context of a situation; and (c) referenced case studies, which include citations and author insight. Development steps for case problems and studies are provided. Ways in which these materials can be used for instruction are discussed. Case materials can be used for assessment and testing if care is exercised. A checklist is recommended. Case materials are useful to explore research issues and test tentative hypothe

摘要:

ABSTRACTBecause business and industry training has become a major economic investment for the companies that support it, training managers are increasingly called upon to demonstrate that their interventions are not only effective but also cost‐effective. This article describes a cost‐effective methodology. It points out how cost‐effectiveness differs from cost‐benefit analysis. The technique combines meta‐analytic and simple accounting procedures to yield an index of relative cost‐effectiveness of training interventions. Using examples from the schools and corporate training, the authors demonstrate how the analysis can be applied to a large variety of training

摘要:

ABSTRACTTwo CAI programs tested the effects of plain and enhanced screen designs, with or without information about the designs, and task‐type on learning time and achievement. The enhanced versions used headings, directive cues, running heads, and graphic devices to organize and structure the content, Information about the screens described the purposes of the enhanced features and instructed the students to use those features while studying. One program required learners to perform a memorization task; the second program required concept acquisition and application. Plain‐screen versions were equal to the enhanced versions in the effects on learning. Information about text enhancements reduced lesson time when the enhancements provided the learner with program control opti
