INTERACTIVE-VIDEO AND GROUP-LEARNING - 2-ACTION INQUIRY-BASED EVALUATIONS

Two evaluations of Interactive Programmes are presented. Both studies involved groups of learners interacting with each other and with Laser Vision software. However, the contexts of the programmes are different : one concerns counselling skills for student teachers, the other is a geography simulation programme. The evaluations identified the power of the medium to present powerful images. The issues of programme stru cture and group interaction are discussed. Although structures of thes e programmes are simple, there appears to be merit in them if they are managed well by teachers.
