A study was prepared for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW) on the role DHEW could play in the implementation of instructional television. This volume of the study provides a detailed description of alternative delivery systems. It analyzes the different technical capabilities and component costs of a variety of distribution…

Intended as a general reference handbook for those concerned with applying telecommunications technology to the process of education, this survey focuses on the use of the technology rather than the technology itself. It reviews engineering or technical aspects to provide sufficient background to permit the reader to evaluate each component or…

Describes fiber optic cables and coaxial cables and considers when each would be appropriate for educational technology. Single mode versus multimode fiber optics are explained, advantages and disadvantages of each type of cable are discussed, and guidelines for choosing fiber optic cables and coaxial cables are offered.

Description of an experimental program which uses computer assisted instruction, videotape, and videophone in a system for providing instruction to hearing impaired secondary-level students at Gallaudet College. (STS)

Two experts in audiovisual technology comment on such topics as cablevision, microforms, computer-aided instruction, remote access systems, and videotaping. (JF)

A workshop on the distribution and use of electronic aids in education was held at St. Donat, Quebec. Workshop members discussed the advantages of and obstacles to use of these aids and suggested ways by which their use could be increased. A frequent suggestion was to set up distribution boards at the national and regional level to facilitate…

NATIONAL LEADERS WERE BROUGHT TOGETHER TO FOCUS THEIR ATTENTION ON THE GENERATION OF GUIDELINES FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS TO EXPAND AND IMPROVE TRADE AND INDUSTRIAL TEACHER EDUCATION. TO PROVIDE BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND TO STIMULATE THINKING, SEVERAL PAPERS WERE COMMISSIONED AND PRESENTED. THESE PAPERS INCLUDED--(1) "A REVIEW OF…

Stanford University, in planning for cable television, should be aware of the future possibilities and the costs. It should join the City of Palo Alto in obtaining a cable system, assuming that Palo Alto selects a modern two-way (subscriber response capability) system. Interconnection with other mid-Peninsula cable television systems is desirable,…

This selected bibliography contains references to over 200 articles published in the last decade that clearly indicate the interest in nontraditional options for continuing education in the health professions. The articles found in approximately 100 professional journals both provide general information about options for study and focus on…

A description is given of a five-year program at Dartmouth College that develops and encourages the use of all forms of technology in every academic department and program. (MK)

The Digital And Video Interactive Device (DAVID) interactive system was developed at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf in the 1970s for the purpose of enhancing instruction in audiology and speech pathology for deaf students at the postsecondary level. The DAVID system incorporates a minicomputer with a disk drive, a videotape recorder…

Oral and written statements made by 52 college and university authorities in the field of instructional technology are reported. The statements were produced during a series of 12 seminars held between October 1967 and March 1968 at Indiana University, University of Notre Dame and Purdue University, University of Illinois, Pennsylvania State…

Originally part of a symposium on educational media for the deaf, the paper describes the DAVID (Data Analysis in Video Interactive Device) system. The system allows deaf students to learn speechreading via computer-assisted instruction using prepared videotaped segments, thus linking computer technology and television technology for the benefit…

This publication, designed as a supplement to the manual entitled "Managing Programs for Adults" (1983), provides guidelines for establishing or expanding the use of video and computers by administration and staff of adult education programs. The first section presents the use of video technology for program promotion, instruction, and staff…

Describes project CAVE (Computer Augmented Video Education), an ongoing effort at the U.S. Naval Academy to present lecture material on videocassette tape, reinforced by drill and practice through an interactive computer system supported by a 12 channel closed circuit television distribution and production facility.
