The use of an innovative educational medium such as the interactive videodisc was seen as a way of maximizing student learning by using its attributes of excellent visual images, interactivity (active student learning), feedback, quick response time, and the potential for student-directed and student-paced learning. A videodisc containing 1981 slides and approximately 34 minutes of videotape on the topic of orthopaedics was produced in PAL format and the authoring language PC/PILOT was used for programming. The instructional design considerations and the process of producing an interactive videodisc are discussed.
