Macro‐contexts for learning: Initial findings and issues

Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of video‐based technologies to create macro‐contexts that can facilitate comprehension and learning. A theoretical rationale for the use of macro‐contexts is considered, and the results of three experiments are described. The experiments involve very simple uses of technology yet show positive results. The results suggest that more sophisticated uses of technology, especially computer‐controlled interactive videodiscs, should have even greater benefits on comprehension and learning. The findings provide a rationale for conducting more extensive investigations that utilize sophisticated technologies.
