Autoinstructional Aids Community Colleges Individualized Programs Institutional Cooperation Library Cooperation Models Multimedia Instruction Nontraditional Students Outreach Programs Program Effectiveness Programed Instruction Public Libraries Two Year Colleges Black Hawk College's Study Unlimited cooperative program with the River Bend Library System, established in 1972, is presented as a model for community college and public library cooperation in offering off-campus instructional opportunities to new student populations by breaking time and place access barriers. Study Unlimited's objectives are to provide college credit courses, preparation for General Education Development examinations, and assistance in preparing for the College Level Examination Program at public library locations. The courses, of which there are three types, are variable entry/exit, self-paced, and taught by regular college faculty. Videocassette and multi-media courses must be largely completed at the libraries; students may order any necessary materials and take tests in the library and need not come to campus unless they want to attend discussion sections. Take-home courses rely almost entirely on printed material to be completed at home; enrollment and examination services are available at the various libraries. Audiocassette courses may be checked out for a small fee for home use or may be completed in the library. Nearly 35 courses are offered overall on such subjects as English literature, algebra, music, career planning, etc. Since its inception, the Study Unlimited program has been the fastest growing part of the college. Program financing and future plans are discussed. (TR) |
