Interactive videodisc is now commonly being used in military training, but the new technology is so powerful that new design strategies are needed. Los Alamos National Laboratory's Training Research Team is developing experimental computer-based (IBM-PC based) training with interactive videodisc (Level III) on military applications. The goal is to exploit the technology to enhance learning, with the focus on learning requirements and not on the technology. As part of this process, the Team has compiled a set of nine design strategies. This set of strategies is readily portable to other training efforts using this technology. The strategies are unique in that: (1) the technology is so new and thus few guidelines exist, and (2) they incorporate learning theory and human factors principles. The strategies described are being used on Level III projects ranging from a tactical operations cognitive strategies tutor to a part-task helicopter trainer.
