It was determined that the use of such technologies would be helpful in order to serve more clients in more locations at lower costs, especially in a time of rising travel costs and decreasing educational budgets. The technologies addressed in the study were audiotape, telephone, radio, videotext, freeze-frame, electronic blackboard, videotape, videodisc, television, computer, and computer-based instruction. The results of this feasibility study indicate that potential clients' order of preference for a conference was (1) conference out of state, (2) teleconference in state, (3) videotape, (4) telephone conference, (5) audiotape, and (6) proceedings. Based on client preferences and the National Academy's goals for providing distance training, the following technologies were recommended for immediate adoption: a telephone lecture series supplemented with slides and question-and-answer sessions; ad hoc telephone conferences; videotapes of workshop activities and lectures; ad hoc satellite video-conferences with two-way audio for participant questions; more videotape equipment; and satellite disks to receive satellite-transmitted video conferences at the National Center.
