contents The Information Technologies: Telidon and Education--Perspectives and Possibilities for a New Information Technology and Its Impact on Education. McLaren, Joan Delivery Systems Educational Media Futures (of Society) Information Networks Instructional Innovation Simulation Teaching Methods Technological Advancement Videotex A discussion of the information revolution and society with the focus on education and a description of the current configuration of Telidon, a videotex system developed in Canada, provide the background for an in-depth exploration of the educational applications and capabilities of this new information technology. Capable of operating in either a one-way teletext or two-way videotex mode, Telidon is characterized as one of the major technological participants in the information revolution. Its role in bringing about and furthering the information society is discussed, as well as its potential for use at various levels of the educational system and in other locations such as the home and library. Topics highlighted are change and technology, functions of Telidon in educational technology, modes of instruction (passive, interactive, simulation, information resource), and educational communications (many-to-one, one-to-many, one-to-one, group-to-group, and network communication). A brief discussion of issues and implications for policy and a nine-page selected bibliography are included. (LMM)
