Description: Multimedia courseware has the promise of becoming a staple of instructional technology, but it must be built around sound design theories in order to be effective. The design of multimedia courseware should be based on instructional design theory, human factors, and cognitive learning theories. If these elements are not included in a deliberate manner, the multimedia courseware will not be an effective instructional tool. This thesis explores relevant cognitive learning theories and design paradigms for multimedia courseware. It includes examples from a prototype system designed to train naval officers who must witness a pre-firing inspection of the 76mm/62 caliber gun mount.
