Abstract
The objective of this thesis research was to create an
embedded tutorial for the Ramtek 9400 Color Graphics Display
System. An embedded tutorial is a self-paced Computer Aided
Instruction (CAI) learning technique which is implemented on
the actual equipment the subjects are learning to use.
This technique has tremendous potential in helping the
Department of Defense meet its goal of increased manpower
effectiveness. The Tutorial should eliminate the necessity
for each user to possess and master large quantities of
often confusing documentation. It should also free members
of the laboratory staff from repetitive teaching tasks,
allowing them to provide more specialized consulting. Goals
of good CAI system design and man-machine interface, and the
design techniques actually used to implement the embedded
Tutorial are discussed. Evaluations by faculty, staff, and
students were performed to identify areas of improvement.
A User's Manual and Software Maintenance Manual were also
written to accompany the embedded Tutorial.
