The Columbus Ohio Public School system conducted a project to develop an instructional television (ITV) publication. The project's major goals were to: 1) develop a rationale for using ITV to enhance learning; 2) produce a book for preservice and inservice educators which would examine ITV in relation to the foundations of education, as well as survey available ITV programing and usage; and 3) stimulate creative use of ITV in Ohio. Needs were surveyed, interviews conducted and literature reviewed. Following this, 33 objectives were identified and the book, "ITV: Promise Into Practice," was written and evaluated by three judges and a random sample of Ohio educators. Analysis of the data showed that 30 of the objectives were attained. Readers judged that the book provided the needed background for making rational curriculum decisions relevant to ITV. Additional printings of the report, containing a full review of data collection, production, evaluation and dissemination activities, were authorized and made available from the Ohio Educational Media Center, The Ohio Department of Education.
