Useful quotes:

• Much teaching takes place through expository presentation although it is well documented that the effectiveness of any teaching process is enhanced if the learner is encouraged to respond and demonstrate his degree of understanding. P22
• The medium with greatest potential to meet most, if not all, of these requirements is interactive video, which combines the rich and varietal, sensory experiences offered by television with the detailed control characteristics of computer-based learning (…) Teachers can call upon text, sound and pictures, using computer assistance to create and produce learning materials and adapt and modify existing programs for their own purposes.
