A Synthesis of the Final Reports and Evaluations of the ATS-6 Satellite Experiments in Health, Education and Telecommunications.
Filep, Robert T.; Johansen, Patricia A.
This document provides a synthesis of the final project reports and project evaluations of a series of health and education satellite experiments designed to explore the use of satellite technology in the delivery of social services. Each summary in this paper outlines the objectives, procedures, instructional or medical content, and the overall results of the project. A review of the external evaluation provides information regarding areas assessed, such as achievement, and attitude toward the approach by users. An overview section analyzes the value of the experiments as a group, with special attention to their role as precursors of a number of activities started in order to exploit satellites in the delivery of social services. Geographic areas covered include the Appalachia Region, the Rocky Mountain Region, and the Alaska Region. (Author/DAG)
