Cognitive Guidelines for Computer-Aided Instruction: A Navigational Case Study
Marc M. Sebrechts · Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting · 1983
In order to realize the full benefits of computer aided instruction, the computer tools must reflect the cognitive demands of the user. In particular, computer-aided instruction must be sensitive to restrictions on human memory and attention, and it must facilitate the development of internal models of the relevant target domains. To this end, we have developed a set of preliminary guidelines which have been used in the development of computerized aids for training people to use a maneuvering board for ship navigation.
