Interactive multimedia software design: concepts, process, and evaluation.
This article provides the health educator with a review of the design and construction of computer-based health education materials. Specifically, this review considers questions of instructional objectives as defined in the field of instructional design, a body of expertise not often deployed in the area of health education. It discusses in some detail the computer materials development process, associated documentation, and the range of personnel required. This article also briefly updates discussion of the costing process, and current costs for multimedia hardware and authoring software. The review touches on, but does not synthesize, emerging possibilities with the Internet.
