Operation Link-Up (Instructional Delivery through Technology). Final Report.
Tri-County Opportunities Industrialization Center, Inc., Harrisburg, PA.
A project was conducted to provide access to computer-based instructional programs, student database files, and CD-ROM technology to satellite classes of the Tri-County Opportunities Industrialization Center in central Pennsylvania. During the project, computer needs at satellite locations were identified, instructional and reference materials were reviewed and evaluated, a host computer bulletin board access network was designed and installed, a user's manual was published, and staff and student training was provided. Constant refinements were made in the instructional technology during the course of the project. Success of the project was contingent on the project leaders' familiarity with computers and computer bulletin boards. The project resulted in a cost-effective way to offer alternative instructional delivery to satellite classes and equal access to information to learners at distant sites. Starting an in-house computer bulletin board service proved an inexpensive way to reach more learners and to share available resources. (KC)
