Recent developments and integrations of information technology and multimedia technology are expanding The purpose of various instructional learning methods in educational environments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the types and strategies of instructional learning methods based on rocognizing the demands of developing new instructional learning methods appropriate to utilizing this new multimedia environment. First, the educational potentials and physical components of multimedia education environments were examined. Then. various types of educational utilization in multimedia environment were analyzed into two categories: (1) learning using multimedia software programs as both contents and tools, and (2) learning utilizing computer network including LAN and internet. As a result of this analysis, it was found that multimedia can be used as very complicated modes for instructional learning methods depending on the group size, the degree of interactivity, the characteristics of subject maUer, and differences of functional tools. It was expected that various types of instructional leaning cases utilizing multimedia presented in this study would provide in-structional learning strategies for designing more realistic and authentic learning.
