Abstract	The unique educational characteristics of television are discussed in this paper, which provides examples of three teaching functions to illustrate television's ability to bring students materials that would not be available through other media: (1) to demonstrate experiments or experimental situations; (2) to provide students with case study material; and (3) to demonstrate processes. Such materials are shown to influence the learning process by providing concrete examples or models of abstract principles, and by encouraging the skills of analysis and the application of knowledge. It is recommended that television material be designed in such a way that it encourages interactivity by exploiting the control characteristics of cassettes, i.e., use of segments, clear stopping points, use of activities, indexing, close integration with other media, and concentration on audiovisual aspects. The relationship between television, learning, and student assessment, and the use of television for relaying classroom lectures are also considered. Ways to overcome the expense of producing educational television programs are suggested, such as using existing materials or making your own programs. Several excerpts from educational television programs accompanied the paper when it was presented. (8 references) (MES)
