| Summary: | The purpose of this study was to investigate the professional interaction
and interpersonal communication factors in the management of biomedical
instructional development projects which involved the use of electronic media.
Reference is made, repeatedly, in instructional development literature to
the need to include interpersonal communication skills in the education and
training of present and future instructional systems developers. It has been
suggested that subject specialist consultation is one of the most vital
instructional design skills. However, this skill may not be taught in educational
and training programs. Before specific skills can be identified and included in
the professional preparation of ISDs, it is necessary to determine what the
communication factors are, as well as exactly where and when interpersonal
communication conflicts occur within the ISD process. To provide relevancy,
these issues need to be linked to actual occurrences in actual settings. This
study provides insight into actual roles, relationships and interpersonal
communication factors in the context within which they occur. === Graduation date: 1995
