Subj: CAI goes to the movies In very late reply to the query for people doing CAI in the real world, I am a contractor from Telematic Systems working with the IVIS project at DEC in Burlington, MA. IVIS stands for Interactive Video Information System, and runs CBI (as we prefer -- Computer BASED Instruction) consisting of textual, color graphic, and audio/video information on an integrated one-monitor system. We use a videodisc player in conjunction with a PRO350. The system is announced, and will start shipping early next year. I am very excited about the system. It's a great deal of fun to work with, and the resulting courses have turned out to be generally engaging and informative. In working with a hybrid medium, we have run into special integration problems, since educational designers, video people and computer people must all learn to talk to each other to produce a good course. Other manufacturers have been producing similar (mostly two-monitor: one for text and one for video) systems. These will probably be seen more in the CAI environments in the future.
