The program used digital video clips to encourage student discussion about their own ideas and to elicit their preconceptions prior to instruction in physics in Year 10 and 11. The video clips showed difficult, expensive, time consuming or dangerous demonstrations of real, observable events, primarily focussing on projectile motion. A predict-observe-explain (POE) format supported the students' interactions with the program. In this computer learning environment, students worked in pairs and were required to type full sentence responses that were recorded by the computer for later analysis by the researchers and teachers. In addition, the students were required to make pencil and paper drawings during some tasks. Other data sources for this study included interviews with selected students and their teachers, classroom observations, and student questionnaires. This paper reports on the findings from the study with a focus on the student conversations whilst using the program. The findings have implications for the effective use of multimedia to enhance meaningful learning in physics classrooms.
