Abstract :
A computer-based training (CBT) program, Explorer, has been developed to help train faculty in computer-assisted instruction (CAI) techniques. Faculty use the menu-driven Explorer to investigate instructional design principles by previewing critically acclaimed CAI, experimenting with presentation design, evaluating sample interaction sequences, controlling external media, and running simulations. Designed to be a subject of instruction as well as a tool of instruction. Explorer incorporates modules that faculty may use in their CAI projects. That design decision reflects the industrial CBT and academic software engineering backgrounds, of the project staff. Both the Explorer program and the synergism between CBT professionals and educators that led to its creation are described.<>
