Abstract | It is necessary for the United States to make better use of its resources, both human and environmental, if there is to be an optimal distribution of population. This requires the innovative application of communications technology to make life in rural communities more attractive. In terms of continuing education, there are presently two means of distributing materials. One is audio tape with text, and the other is video--either through live pick-up or stored on tape. The development of video storage discs may make stored video more feasible. Community colleges would seem to be the institution best suited to offering courses in learning centers over wide geographical areas. As a pilot operation six community colleges have formed a consortium called ACCESS to work with Goldmark Communications in developing the requirements for a delivery system, and to develop six courses to be made available to all educational institutions. In order to make the distribution of these courses nationwide, the Rapid Transmission and Storage (RTS) facility of ATS-6 might be used. (WBC) |
