We currently have a mac with a hypercard stack from texas University
to access the computer technology video disc.  We also have a "home made"
program that reads info from an ascii data file and 1).  allows you to
step through the video's, stills, and text files about the information or
2). display a menu of the descriptions and allows you to randomly select
videos, stills, and text files to match your data file.  I have developed
data files for each of the chapters in our introduction to computers
book.  The instructors currently use them in their presentations along
with our other aides:  outlines of the chapters with hypertext jumps to
the glossary or chapter summaries, practice test questions based on the
chapter objectives and/or chapter terms, presentation graphics on the
more complex concepts in the chapter.  Thus instructors are armed with a
variety of tools to make their lectures more effective (and interesting) and
students have access to those same tools in the lab to pick up andy
concepts they may have missed during the lecture.

I hope you found this interesting.
