Abstract

Abstract New digital video technologies provide a wide spectrum of multimedia interface capabilities for educational courses running on personal computers. A formal experiment was conducted using a digital video course on code inspection to determine the effects of such capabilities on recall performance and attitude. The findings suggest that the presentation of material as motion video rather than as a slide show within an interactive video course leads to better recall performance. In addition, the presence of motion video in the interfaces and the use of surrogate travel for navigation promote better student opinions toward the subject matter.
