| contents | Electronic Outreach: Television, the Distant Learner, and the Library School. Barron, Daniel D. Adoption (Ideas) Case Studies Distance Education Educational Television Instructional Innovation Library Education Library Schools Professional Continuing Education Teaching Methods Teleconferencing Telecourses This study focused on the use of television by the College of Library and Information Science at the University of South Carolina in meeting the preservice and continuing education needs of information professionals in the state. Following a general introduction, which discusses the use of technology in both librarianship and higher education, background information about the College of Library and Information Science's outreach program is provided. A brief history of the use of video in the college is then presented, including the production of the first telecourse, "Jump Over the Moon: Sharing Literature with Young Children," which is currently used by over 230 colleges around the world, and the subsequent adoption of teleconferencing for additional library science courses. Administrative and delivery issues involved with the utilization of television for instructional delivery are also discussed, including: (1) quality control concerns; (2) selection of courses to offer via teleconferencing; (3) faculty resistance and concerns; (4) lack of the social and emotional support provided by the conventional teacher-and-class situation; and (5) follow-up services for the learner. A discussion of concerns and issues involved in teaching adults via telecourses and an invitation for librarians and information scientists to use technology to facilitate information transfer for positive human benefits conclude the report. A six-page list of references is provided. (JB) |
