Compressed/interactive video is a relatively new format for providing preservice and inservice courses to rural and/or remote areas (Willis, 1993). At the University of Kansas Medical Center only two programs, those of Nursing and the Deaf Education, have engaged in this format of distance education. While the methodology was expected to assist graduate students in areas of the state who could not travel to participate in courses on one of the three urban campuses, it was also expected to challenge instructors to teach effectively while still encouraging active learning activities. Surveys of questions to rural and urban students were given to 13 graduate students in two courses in the fall of 1992, and to three additional students in the fall of 1993. Analyzed results documented the success of the compressed/interactive (ITV) video teaching format for this small group of master level students in Kansas.

The University of Utah's Video Computer Learning Project's learning system consists of a Terak 8510a interfaced to a Discovision PR-7820 videodisc player. An essential part of the system is the Video Computer Authoring System which provides instructions written in ordinary English for implementing and editing course materials. Such materials contain computer-generated text and graphics and video segments. The computer and video screens provide a workspace in which the student performs a variety of operations. With the freeze-frame, slow motion forward and reverse, and random access frame addressing capabilities of the videodisc added to those of the microcomputer, the student has significant power over his learning environment. Course materials are self-paced and mastery oriented as well as highly interactive.

The study explores one longitudinal case of engaged scholarship, the collaborative practices in the Ukrainian language educational network from the 1970s to the present. The focus is on the Ukrainian Language Education Centre (ULEC) at the University of Alberta, which over almost four decades has worked with the community in the development of Ukrainian education by keeping approaches to language learning and its use on the cutting edge of practice. Over the years, ULEC engaged with the community seeking to respond to the community’s needs. Past and present practices of ULEC and its partners are studied through the prism of the engaged scholarship framework (Boyer, 1996; Barker, 2004; Sandmann 2008, 2009). These practices are analyzed through three strands of engagement: purposes, processes, and products, which are defined, explored, and discussed. The study also describes engaged scholarship projects related to Ukrainian language education currently being conducted by ULEC, with a focus on collaboration with communities in the production of knowledge and their potential for strengthening a network of reciprocity.

Like all professional education and training, health information management education has changed and developed in response to technological demands, employer requirements and the evolving nature of the discipline. In this series of reports, four Australian universities — Curtin University of Technology, La Trobe University, The University of Sydney and Queensland University of Technology — OTEN (Open Training Education Network) and HIMAA Education Services describe courses, students and aims of their programs.

In 1984, a project exploring the feasibility of teaching string vibrato technique through a computer-driven interactive video PLATO-based system was undertaken at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. This paper looks at the design of the system and at the scope and sequence of information that would be presented within the program. It also formulates the hypothesis that audio records within the program can be matched with real-time audio responses from the system user, thereby paving the way for remedial work within the program.

The University of Florida College of Agriculture and Life Sciences offers the Bachelor of Science degree program in Environmental Horticulture at the Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center (FLREC). Instructors at the FLREC deliver course work and course work is also presented using a variety of distance education (DE) technologies. These DE technologies include interactive video conferencing, videotape, and web-based courses. The question often arises as to how many courses should be delivered using DE versus live onsite instruction. This survey was conducted to ascertain how students perceive the quality of education they are receiving using a mixture of delivery methods.
