Innovative teaching techniques for delivering courses in the 21st century will include use of audio, data, and video in classrooms, as well as transmission to distant sites. Toward this end, the University of South Florida, in opening its newest campus at Lakeland, has built facilities, designed an administrative organization, and provided financial and human resource support systems to create an atmosphere where faculty members can investigate the use of technology in a supportive environment. During the last 2 years, 26 senior faculty members have become part of an effort to incorporate technology to deliver part or all of a course. The facilities and organizational structure of the Lakeland campus incorporate a four channel receiving and sending system linking them with four other campuses and auxiliary receiving sites, and courses have been designed to use this instructional technology. Continuing evaluation of those courses indicates that, although there have been some technical problems, the number of students reporting that they would take another course using technology increased from 80% to 100% over three semesters.
