- Summary:
-
Cabletelevision (CATV), if properly applied, can increase and enhance educational opportunities. FCC regulations allow free educational access to cable television. CATV has the capacity to dedicate more than one channel to education; this can provide a greater variety of educational programing with repetition throughout the day. A second educational channel could be used to handle educational administrative matters. Indeed, CATV can link the school with homes to deliver information to home-bound students or to adult learners. Moreover, CATV systems can link schools to public agencies and institutions as well as the home. However, despite the fact that educators have made little use of CATV, the "Vincennes Project" together with Grand Junction, Colorado, and Oregon State University provide three examples of innovative and successful uses made of CATV by educators. Finally, "leased access channels," and the "two-way" interactive CATV will enhance the potential of educational uses of cable television. (WCM)
