Abstract

Advanced information technologies have made possible many new ways of storing, distributing, and accessing knowledge. Combined with appropriately designed user interfaces and suitable knowledge engineering techniques, optical storage media provide many new opportunities for instructional design. This paper describes some approaches to using these facilities for the creation of new types of interactive learning metaphor based upon the use of reactive media and the principle of surrogation. New types of instructional dialogue needed to support these metaphors are briefly outlined.
