Abstract | In an effort to prepare teachers for the coming changes in education caused by the rapidly developing communication satellite technology, this monograph offers a non-technical background to this new development. It begins by explaining the importance of such satellites and offers a layman's guide to the technology of satellite systems. It reviews the history of communication satellites and predicts that ATS-F, a NASA satellite scheduled to be launched in 1973, will be the beginning of a boom in satellite use in education. The direct effect of this boom on the classroom teacher is discussed, noting that satellites will bring the power of large, sophisticated computers to students and teachers whether in remote or urban areas. In talking about the problems of the ground links to the satellite, the monograph explains the problems caused by spillover, freeloading, copyright infringement, and institutional cooperation. Several policy questions raised by the use of satellites in education are explored. A glossary and other supplementary material is appended. (JY) |
