Title: The relative effectiveness and efficiency of systematically designed instructional text augmented with normal and compressed speech audio tapes

Abstract: "The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative effectiveness and efficiency of systematically designed materials using text alone, text augmented with normal speech (175 words per minute), and text augmented with compressed speech (262 words per minute). The study was designed to determine if systematically designed text augmented with compressed speech could increase the number of objectives achieved and reduce the actual amount of instructional time needed for mastery of the objectives.

The 78 subjects were from Florida vocational education programs located in five geographically dispersed schools. The materials were previously published as a part of a job skills training program. The research was conducted in individualized settings in the school media centers. The results indicated that the text augmented with compressed speech was equally effective and as efficient as text alone, and more efficient than text augmented with normal speech. A post-hoc analysis was conducted using instructional time as a variable. Systematically designed text augmented with compressed speech took significantly less time to complete than text augmented with normal speech."
