T1 - Update on computer-assisted video instruction in the health sciences
AU - Wiist, William H.
N1 - Funding Information: In April, 1986 the Society for Applied Learning Technology (SALT) held The First Conference on Learning Technolo gy in the Health Care Sciences. At that conference, several state-of-the-art in teractive videodisc programs on a varie ty of health topics were presented. Topics included adolescent suicide (funded by the National Institutes of Mental Health), clinical medicine (Na tional Library of Medicine), trauma treatment in emergency rooms (Intelli gent Images), combat trauma (U.S. Navy), athletic knee injury (ALIVE Cen ters), wellness (Center For Corporate Health Promotion) and remote-site life support (ITEST). The variety of uses of computer-as sisted video instruction in health pro motion and health education seem to be as unlimited as in business and indus try. The Boston Museum of Science uses interactive videodisc to teach visitors the responsibilities of alcohol use (Vi deodisc Exhibit, 1987). Carnegie Mellon University is developing a videodisc program in ethical reasoning in the health sciences (Ethical Reasoning, 1987). Because of the recent training mandates of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, companies such as General Motors have used vi deodisc systems to train thousands of workers in safety practices (Videodiscs in Healthcare, 1987). The Interactive Learning Center in Little Rock, Arkan sas has 200 interactive courses for training and testing for hospitals and other companies meeting OSHA standards (New Interactive Learning, 1987). There are numerous possible applications for employee, client, or patient education, home-video, and professional education within health promotion! education. Programs could present learners with a variety of dietary choices, then show them the nutritional analysis of their choices. CAVI simulations could be used to teach treadmill testing. Health counseling skills could be developed with interactive video patient simulations. Interactive technology could be adapted to presenting audio and video imagery biofeedback for relaxation in stress management programs. The technology of computerassisted interactive video will allow health educators creative possibilities well beyond resources currently available. For further information about CAVI in the health sciences, see the bimonthly publication MedicaIDisc Reporter and its companion publication, the annual MedicaIDisc Directory which lists over 250 completed videodisc programs in the health sciences. Applied Video Technology, Inc. publishes Interactive Video, a directory of users, vendors, producers and others involved in interactive video. The Videodisc Connection: A Directory of Service Suppliers is published by 3M Company. For general videodisc information, including health, periodicals such as the monthly Videodisc Monitor, Optical Information Systems, and In- ~tructi?n Delivet:t Systems, Video Comput zng, bimonthly Journals, and the twicemonthly newsletter Optical Information Systems Update are useful. The periodical, Compact Disc Interactive News focuses on interactive video developments in compact discs. The Society for Applied Learning Technology has several conferences each year on videodisc education and includes a Special Interest Group on Health Sciences. In 1986, the Medical Disc Reporter began an annual national conference on the applications of videodisc in the health sciences. The Association for the Development of ComputerBased Instructional Systems also has a Special Interest Group on Health Education (with interactive technologies). The Nebraska Videodisc DesignlProduction Group and KUON-TV conduct the Annual Nebraska Videodisc Symposium at the University of Nebraska as well as a variety of workshops on the production of interactive videodisc. The Smithsonian Institution and the Interactive Video Consortium recently have established a National Demonstration Laboratory for Interactive Education Technologies at the Smithsonian in Washington, D. C. (NDL Eyes CD-I, 1987). In 1985, the National Learning Demonstration Center at the National Library of Medicine located in Bethesda, Maryland opened with exhibits, displays, and demonstrations of the applications of videodisc in health sciences education (National Learning, 1987).
