Abstract
In this article we discuss the design and implementation of a computer controlled instructor workstation. The original design consisted of an AT-class computer controlling a laser videodisc player, with graphics overlay, data acquisition, administrative support, and central file serving included. We include the background leading to the decision to develop an instructor workstation, as opposed to a standalone tutorial system; goals of the system design; rationale behind the choice of programming language used; description of the system design; and description of the current configuration. As currently implemented, the system consists of a controlling computer, the videodisc player, and the central file server.
