This paper describes the development and current state of videodisk technology in Canada. The first section focuses on the technology itself, i.e., the disks, disk players, and the possibilities they offer for interaction between learner and machine. The current costs of the technology and the probable effect of these costs on the market are also discussed. The second section reports on a survey of the research and production of videodisks in Canada, and includes a discussion of the contents, educational design, costs, and features of projects completed by ACCESS Alberta, the Univesity of Alberta in Edmonton, Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, among others. Issues involved in most of the projects include: (1) the effective design of interactive learning programs; (2) coordination of the team producing the videodisk; and (3) cost of the technology both to produce and to use. It is concluded that, although the potential of the educational videodisk is widely recognized in Canada, its wide acceptance as a valid, affordable alternative for educational delivery is still open to question. A list of contact individuals and references is included. (DB)
