Interactive Audio for Computer Assisted Learning

Abstract

Starting from a short review of the developments of computer assisted learning and of instructional communication, the opportunities for applying audio within CAL courseware are explored. The key-concept of interactivity is brought into the discussion of interactive, eventually auditive, systems. Then a description is given of the hardware and software of an audio-CAL system, making use of an overview of the modern audio technology. The conclusion indicates the research that could result.
