Abstract

This investigation reports about the development and formative evaluation of an assistive technology instructional module that was developed in an integrated hypermedia format according to principles of anchored instruction. The module was field-tested with undergraduate students, graduate students, and professionals. Revisions were made in the module on the basis of feedback from the field tests. It was concluded that people respond positively to anchored instruction on the topic of assistive technology and that anchored instruction appears to have utility for both preservice and inservice training. A number of implications are described for those who are involved in the development and delivery of instruction about assistive technology.
