Interactive Satellite Television Evaluation Project.
Harris, David
Live broadcast television lessons in the four subjects: Japanese, Maori, Spanish, and Technology, were broadcast from the New Zealand Correspondence School via Satellite and Sky television to selected schools around the country during 1996. The trial project ran from April to November, 1996, involving 86 schools, including primary, intermediate, secondary and area. This evaluation focused on analyzing the course delivery and interactivity of the 1996 pilot program, and establishing what aspects were useful to teachers and students in meeting their learning goals, and what elements proved to be deficient and in need of improvement. The sections are: "Evaluation"; "Data Gathering and Analysis"; "Findings"; "The Effectiveness and Usefulness of Interactive Television for Teaching and Learning"; "Comparing the Roles of the Broadcast and Classroom Teacher"; "How Useful Was the Support Material for Teaching"; "Teacher Professional Development"; "Interaction Between Broadcaster and Receivers"; "Technology"; "Differences in the Experiences of Participating Schools by Area and Type"; and "Recommendations for Improving Interactive Television Courses." Twenty tables and figures illustrate findings and the forms and questionnaires used in the project are appended. (AEF)
