Abstract | At the end of 1986 a survey of 1,200 new and 1,200 continuing undergraduate students of the Open University (Great Britain) was undertaken which addressed the related issues of costs of studying and access to television and video equipment for study purposes. The overall response rate was 75.4% when the data were analyzed in March 1987. Analyses of the data indicated that 77% of the undergraduate students had access to some kind to video equipment for study purposes, with approximately 60% reporting access in their homes. In addition, 26% of the students without home access to video indicated a willingness to buy or rent a videocassette machine if the Open University provided video material for course work. The data also provided some potentially important variations in patterns of access based on demographics and region. The text is supplemented by 12 figures and data for the study are displayed in four appended tables. (4 references) (EW) |
