Interactive Video: the Instructional Tool of the '90S

Florida State University

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficiency, effectiveness, and impact of a trainee's control over the pace of instruction when using interactive video (IV). The study revealed that the interactive video training program designed for this study was as effective and significantly more efficient than a successful traditional training program commonly used for sanitary food handling and personal hygiene training. Pre- and post-test scores were compared between the control and experi mental groups. In addition, an outcome not originally designed as a part of this study emerged from placing students in small groups as they used the interactive systems. Scores and time to train were analyzed, comparing those who trained individually and those who trained in groups. It was discovered that students grouped on interactive hardware scored higher than those who trained alone.
