From the supplier: Non-traditional and off-campus students are changing the college scene and colleges and universities must respond to their needs. Electronic distance learning can meet these needs. These courses can meet the same academic standards. They can be monitored more easily than the traditional classroom. Faculty members will volunteer to teach using electronic distance learning. The college or university can increase the size of its student population. Off-campus students can use electronic mail to have the same quantity and quality of communication with faculty members that on-campus students have. Off-campus students have access to more learning resources than on-campus students do. Academic dishonesty is not more prevalent. There is considerable interest on the part of students for taking courses off campus. The dropout rate is not higher for off-campus students. Distance learning courses may result in cost savings. Colleges and universities interested in distance learning should start by reviewing their mission and the needs of students, enrolled and potential, and faculty.

From the supplier: Since its inception in 1984, the satellite-based College of Arts and Sciences Teleconferencing Service (ASTS) of Oklahoma State Univ has expanded to 1,000 K-12 schools throughout 42 states. The service focuses on courses in critical need areas such as foreign language instruction, advanced mathematics and advanced science. ASTS is now offering 10 for-credit high school courses, non-credit middle school and pre-college guidance courses and a number of enrichment courses. Using the Westar IV satellite, these programs are delivered via one-way video and two-way audio to all of North America, Alaska, southern Canada and northern Mexico. Interaction between teachers and students is effected through a direct telecommunications link during broadcast hours. The development of these courses costs between $250,000 and $600,000, depending on the amount of computer-aided instruction required.

From the supplier: Faculty at Indiana University and school personnel from rural school corporations in southern Indiana participate in the At-Risk Program. The At-Risk Program is an inservice program for personnel who work with students who have learning and behavior problems. The At-Risk Program teaches how to restructure the classroom and how to use collaborative planning practices. The distance-learning approach, which uses audiographic technology, is the key to the program. Audiographics, a highly interactive, computer-based, hybrid technology, allows voices and graphic images to be transmitted simultaneously across telephone lines. The system, which is composed of various components from AT&T, uses speaker phones and computer-based graphic scanning. Benefits include providing university-level training to personnel who do not have other access to it and recruiting groups of personnel who work at the same school. In the At-Risk Program, university personnel supply technical assistance, feedback, and other support activities, while local instructors handle training.

VTT in the Navy: training now and for the future. (video teletraining, interactive courseware training and interactive distance learning systems): An article … (Technological Horizons In Education)

From the supplier: The US Navy is experimenting with or will use video teletraining (VTT), interactive courseware training systems (ICTS) and interactive distance learning (IDL) systems to deliver training to remote sites. The rapidly changing military technologies employed by the Navy require frequent transportation of personnel to schools and instructional centers at a very high cost. Consequently, the Navy has a VTT demonstration project that sends training courses via satellites to four remote locations. The system supports two-way, interactive classes that enable the teachers and remote students to listen to and see each other through the use of video cameras, microphones and large-screen television sets at their respective sites. Comparative performance by the VTT students and students in a conventional classroom was similar, but further research is being done on student-teacher interaction. ICTSs with sophisticated software are considered to be ideal for providing remote students with concentrated training on single subjects. IDL is believed to be best for training many students in longer classes at remote sites.
