Subj:  CAI goes to the movies

In very late reply to the query for people doing CAI in the real world, I am a
contractor from Telematic Systems working with the IVIS project at DEC in 
Burlington, MA.  IVIS stands for Interactive Video Information System, and 
runs CBI (as we prefer -- Computer BASED Instruction) consisting of textual, 
color graphic, and audio/video information on an integrated one-monitor 
system.  We use a videodisc player in conjunction with a PRO350.  The system 
is announced, and will start shipping early next year.

I am very excited about the system.  It's a great deal of fun to work with, 
and the resulting courses have turned out to be generally engaging and 
informative.

In working with a hybrid medium, we have run into special integration 
problems, since educational designers, video people and computer people must 
all learn to talk to each other to produce a good course.  

Other manufacturers have been producing similar (mostly two-monitor: one for 
text and one for video) systems.  These will probably be seen more in the CAI 
environments in the future.

Who else is out there?
