This exploratory study developed instructional materials designed to maximize learning through individual and group interaction and used the materials to examine the effectiveness of a teleseminar approach for interactive distance presentations. In this teleseminar model, duplicate sets of overhead transparencies with overlays and other materials for a teacher training course were used at two venues (Monash University in Monash and Signadou College in Canberra) in a single-line Telecom connection. Detailed information was included on the overhead transparencies, and teacher trainees at Canberra were able to actively work through the material with the presenter at Monash. This arrangement allowed for continuous interaction with questions, answers, and discussion of relevant points being made throughout the presentation. Participant reactions as reported on a questionnaire completed at the end of the teleseminar were very positive, and the teleseminar model is advanced as an important consideration in the development of distance education. A copy of the assessment questionnaire is included, and references are provided. Copies of the 31 overhead transparencies used as the content for the teleconferencing seminar are appended. (Author/KM)
