| Abstract: | The first formal author training course for the Tutor programing language and the use of the PLATO system was designed and conducted by the Military Training Centers (MTC) group. The course was developed according to thirteen cognitive and affective principles, and was used over a period of three years to train approximately 100 authors. This report contains a statement of the principles and a description of their implementation, including many examples from course materials. It also recounts the highlights and turning points of the author training course, reviews the basis for its modification, and examines the dilemmas encountered in teaching new authors to prepare computer-based instruction materials. Techniques for resolving some of these dilemmas are suggested. Also included is the course feedback from outside groups. This report is directed to instructors of new authors, developers of author training materials, and managers of computer-based instruction development centers. (Author/SC) |
