Abstract	The purpose of this media study sought to determine whether similar patterns are found (1) when interviewing a larger number of participants and (2) when focusing on a specific content area. Thirty-eight undergraduate students enrolled in an undergraduate computer education class in a large Midwestern university volunteered to participate in individual interviews. During the interview, a preconceptions questionnaire was used to evoke students' perceptions of the ease of learning from books, television, and interactive video. There were three questions for each learning domain (intellectual, verbal, psychomotor, and attitudes). Television was rated as significantly easier than computers and books for learning attitude skills. Although computers were rated as slightly easier than television for the learning of intellectual skills, the difference was not significant: both media were rated as significantly easier than books in the learning of intellectual skills. Television was rated as the easiest medium from which to learn psychomotor skills and students perceived it to be easier to learn verbal information from computers and books than from television. Contains 16 references. (AEF)
