title: Issues in the adoption of a new educational technology.
abstract: The interactive laser videodisc, with its large data base and rapid random access capability, has the potential to play a significant role in health care education. The introduction of this new technology in the last few years has been made difficult by several barriers to the acceptance of the technology. These barriers are grouped into issues of cost, quality and the resistance to change.
