Instructional Development for Videotex: Flowcharts and Scripting. Report Number Three of the Electronic Text Report Series.
Nugent, Gwen; And Others
Designed to assist in the construction of flowcharts and scripts for videotex production, this document presents a detailed look at the instructional design and production of educational videotex. Included are: a flowchart of the videotex development process; hints for effective flowcharting and script development, including frame development; evaluation activities; the definition of computer symbols used within the flowchart; and the suggested structure of personnel teams involved in the project. Sample flowcharts illustrate interactive strategy, showing both forward and backward branching, and branching based on the value of a stored response. Specific suggestions for effective scripts include: non-dense frames, concise and tightly edited text, use of a three-column script form or a script format with grid (samples included). The interdependent relationship of flowchart to script is stressed as a crucial element in the development process. A summary and bibliography complete the report. (JB)
