“…Student learning data from the University of Melbourne suggest enhanced learning through CBI (Wills & McNaught, 1996). Other studies have shown CBT to be at least as effective as traditional learning, with large decreases in learning time observed (Riding & Chambers, 1992). …”

“…The application of new technologies such as hypermedia systems appears to provide the means by which meaningful and effective information skills teaching and learning can finally be achieved (eg, Sheingold, 1987;Downes, 1989;Shaw, 1991;Megarry, 1991;Riding and Chambers, 1992;Russell and Russell, 1993). But studies have revealed that despite their facility to provide increased avenues of access to information, the new technologies have not fully lived up to expectations.…”

“…Riding and Chambers ( 1992 ) describe a study which compared the performance of university students in information seeking tasks with CD-ROM and conventional sources. They found the performance and achievement of the users of the electronic information to be superior to those using paper-based materials in all instances apart from those where the electronic source was deficient in information, in illustrations and graphical elements.…”

Students' success with interactive information systems (11s) such as those found in many CD-ROM applications depends to large degree on their capacity accurately to choose and apply search strategies in response to information needs. 11s systems provide many ways to retrieve information, with some methods being more efficient and effective than others. The purpose of this study was to investigate the search strategies employed by novice users of an 11s system and to analyse the problems and issues that were impediments to successful use. A class of 12 year old students was instructed in the use of an electronic encyclopaedia. The students used the encyclopaedia as an information source for individual projects and on completion their information skills tested and analysed. The study found that students tended to employ inefficient search strategies and experienced difficulty in creating search requests for information related problems. IntroductionThe rapid development, application and uptake of interactive multimedia technologies appears to have vast implications for schools and school curricula. These technologies include the capability for the storage and retrieval of large amounts of information. They are rapidly becoming attributes of the configuration of most entry level desktop computer systems. There are now many specific applications of interactive multimedia for educational applications, the most common of which are electronic books. Richards, Barker, Giller, Lamont and Manji (1990) describe three discrete form of electronic book:

“…A number of studies have demonstrated significant achievement gains attributable to the learning and information opportunities afforded by the implementation of 11s (e.g. Saga, 1992;Riding & Chambers, 1992). While there may be many intuitive reasons to suggest the advantages of the increased use of 11s as educational tools, studies have demonstrated that there are many factors that can influence the quality and quantity of learning outcomes from these computer applications in schools.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the discrete forms of knowledge required for successful use of interactive information systems (IIS). Using an existing framework, an instrument was created to measure the achievement of three discrete forms of knowledge among novice users of an CD‐ROM encyclopedia. The instrument included tasks designed to measure users' knowledge and skills in managing and controlling the system, navigating between information nodes and selecting appropriate search strategies given information related problems. The study examined hierarchical knowledge and compared the development of these forms of knowledge and skills among novices using two different IIS. The results found significant differences in the user performances between two systems in tasks that measured navigation skills and an understanding of the information organisation. It is suggested that these differences were due to differences in the interface design of the two systems and suggestions are made for selecting and implementing IIS systems in school and educational settings.
