-
Results of an evaluation of the Washington Higher Education Telecommunication System (WHETS) are summarized. The system links Washington State University (WSU) in Pullman and the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle with the off-campus sites in Spokane, Tri-Cities, and Vancouver. The system also expands the microwave link between WSU and the University of Idaho. While the system combines several techniques, it is based on the development of a statewide interactive microwave system. Courses are offered primarily in engineering fields and computer science, although the system has also provided business and education courses. Current programming originates primarily from WSU, with selected courses also available from UW. An overview is provided of the promotion of WHETS, its course selection and scheduling, faculty orientation, evaluation, and future plans. The opinions of students and faculty concerning the delivery of courses through WHETS are summarized, including system effectiveness, instructor effectiveness, and program strengths and weaknesses. Also summarized are instructors' comparisons of off-campus and on-campus students. Student and faculty member's suggestions for changes in WHETS courses are also included. (SW)
