contents Distance Education for Doctoral Students: An Overview of the National Cluster Format for Students in the Doctoral Program for Child and Youth Studies. Hesser, Lois Ann Access to Education Computer Literacy Computer Use Distance Education Doctoral Programs Electronic Classrooms Electronic Mail Graduate Students Higher Education Internet Student Surveys Telecommunications Training This paper offers an overview of the telecommunications and delivery techniques involved in providing distance education to graduate students in doctoral programs. Good distance education should ensure variety of format and successful communication; it can come via audiobridge, videotapes, audiotapes, the telephone, electronic mail, electronic library access, electronic bulletin boards, and electronic classrooms. In the case of Nova Southeastern University (Florida), distance education graduate students in the so-called "National Cluster" are given several days of telecommunications training with particular focus on UNIX commands relevant to electronic mail and the Internet. A study of National Cluster students was begun there to identify degree of growth in their computer expertise, degree of computer use in pursuing their studies, and degree of effect technology use has had on career status and professional or personal interactions. A copy of the survey is appended. (Author/BEW)
