A Telecommunications Network for Distance Learning: If It's Built, Will Agriculture Teachers Use It?

Miller, Greg; Miller, Wade – Journal of Agricultural Education, 2000
Surveys of Iowa secondary agriculture teachers in 1994 (n=102), when the Iowa Communications Network (ICN) began, and 1997 (n=141) showed that increased access to ICN did not increase its use. In both years, teachers identified obstacles to its use, including scheduling coordination, training, and preparation time. (SK)
