ABSTRACT
Students like to know how well they have performed in the lesson. They also like to know how they stand relative to the rest of the class. The list at the bottom of the display is particularly beneficial because it reminds students that certain options are available, in addition to telling them how to access those options. Make management and human factors decisions for the overall lesson, add introductory and concluding displays, evaluate, revise, and document. Two additional kinds of information are often provided only in the documentation that accompanies a lesson, like a brochure or teacher's manual. These state the prerequisites and also the target population. The point is that the selection of visual materials should be consistent with the nature of the task, the goals of instruction, and the characteristics of the target population. The decision to allow learner control of instruction depends on the ability of the target population to manage their own instruction.
