Abstract:
An emerging body of research suggests that interactive
multimedia presentation technologies offer
unique advantages for technology transfer and training
programs. A research and development team is
evaluating this claim by developing and testing an
interactive multimedia tutorial on a complex environmental
research topic: in-situ capping of contaminated
sediments. A World Wide Web site has been
created using text and animations to illustrate basic
processes about capping technology. The tutorial’s
effectiveness will be tested through evaluations of
subject-matter experts and end users. Supplemental
technical information will be added before the site is
promoted widely.
