Preparing for interactive video

Margaret S. Allan

teaches educational media at James Cook University of North Queensland, Australia. She has an MA in Applied English Linguistics from the University of Birmingham and is currently working on a project with the School of English there to develop interactive media materials for language study. Her publications include the book Teaching English with Video and, while head of The British Council's AV Unit, she initiated and produced the video series Video English.

A comparison of the properties of the video cassette recorder (VCR) and the videodisc player points up the advantages for education of disc as a medium for the storage and playback of video signals. It is argued that some form of optical disc technology is very likely to come into language classrooms before the end of the 1990s and that it will be welcomed by those teachers who are currently attempting to use their VCRs as flexible resources in their language programmes. Different applications of interactive video in education and language study are described, with reference to recent examples.
