Abstract | A study examined system design factors and communication norms which combined to affect perceptions of televised instruction. Subjects, 206 proximate and 73 distant students enrolled in communication courses, received the same instruction in two modes (face-to-face and at a distance) and their perceptions were compared. The four instructors were trained how to use the two way audio/one way video multicamera equipment and how to engage in verbally and non-verbally immediate and socially present behaviors. Results indicated no significant differences in the two groups' perceptions of the same instructional events when delivered by trained instructors. Findings suggest that when the system of conveyance allows interactivity and control, and when instructors are immediate and present, students learn more and are more satisfied with the experience, regardless of the modality.
