Abstract
Lesson Planner is a Microsoft Excel (1) macro that generates barcodes to access video on the Demonstrations in Organic Chemistry videodisc (2). It allows instructors who do not have computer control capability for their videodisc player, but do have a barcode reader, to prepare customized lessons for use in the classroom or laboratory.

There is no need to flip through pages in the documentation manual or photocopy pages of barcodes and physically cut and paste them to follow your lecture notes.

Lesson Planner includes a complete list of the demonstrations and all sections and subsections included on the videodisc. You simply select the entire demo, sections, or subsections of demos you want to include in your presentation and add them to a lesson list with a mouse click. Lesson Planner generates a list of your selections with barcodes to access the correct video frames. Simply print a copy of the lesson on a laser printer and you are ready to go.

A Macintosh version of Lesson Planner has been previously published (3).
