Abstract
The Media Development Project for the Hearing Impaired at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is currently investigating possible uses of an interactive videodisc player to provide instructional materials for the deaf. The paper describes some general characteristics of the deaf learner and discusses the videodisc as a means for marketing computer-based visual instructional materials, hardware functions and possible design approaches using a variety of instructional techniques. It further describes one experimental production, for an interactive videodisc, based on the needs for materials generated in the MDPHI project to develop basic reading skills for the hearing impaired.
