It was difficult to make such a system available to students for private study or to faculty foruse in classrooms. The program took so long to load and to set up that we had to dedicate a complete systementirely to EDICS. David Crismond, a doctoral candidate in the Harvard Graduate School of Education, carriedout what we believe is the first comparative test of multimedia instruction versus test[2]. Despite what seemedlikely to be penalizing disadvantages to the manner of use of EDICS, it was preferred by the test population ofstudents, particularly by those who were inexperienced in engineering hardware - the target users - and testresults were
