DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

Technology Resources Center

According to the Technology Resources Center, "The technologies of the
1990's are the new classroom tools of American Education." What are these
new technologies and how can they be used effectively in the classroom? The
Center has some of the answers.

The Technology Resources Center in the Research Library of the U.S.
Department of Education offers an opportunity to explore what is available
in technology, use the equipment, and look at the programs. The Center has
a library of hundreds of computer programs, CD-ROM, videotapes and video-
discs. It offers a range of hardware and software for all levels of
education and training.

The Center has a large collection of the new Compact Disc-Read Only Memory
(CD-ROM) discs. The CD-ROM is a vast resource for storing data. One compact
disc can hold the information from 300,000 printed pages! The Center has
one of the largest collections of CD-ROM players and software in the area.

Publishers of computer materials have provided over 400 programs from
pre-school to postgraduate levels. The collection of computer programs is
strong in science, reading, mathematics, and word processing. There are
videodiscs about art, music, science, biology, history, mathematics,
chemistry, and employment skills, among others. The collection of CD-ROM
programs is expanding with discs and databases on history, social studies,
library services, medical information, encyclopedias, literature, census
statistics, education, government regulations, and sample demonstration
programs.

Center equipment represents state-of-the-art computer technology available
for use in schools. This includes equipment from Apple, Commodore/Amiga,
IBM, and Tandy-Radio Shack. Several models of CD-ROM units are demonstrated
for both the MS DOS and Macintosh HFS configuration. Interactive videodiscs
using computers and bar code readers are shown. Videotape, electronic mail
and closed captioned decoders are all on display. Through the cooperation
of members of the Software Publishers Association and other materials
publishers, the Center has a wide variety of programs in many formats.

The Center is open free of charge to all--educators, researchers, adminis-
trators, curriculum specialists, teachers, librarians, and anyone else
interested in the effective use of technology in education and training.
Educators from over 60 foreign countries have visited the Center thus far.

Monthly programs are provided on the use of technology in education.
Special presentations and demonstrations are arranged on request. Tours of
Center facilities and demonstrations of materials are given for visiting
educators and the public. Center staff members work with school systems,
software publishers, and vendors to arrange special demonstrations related
to individual school system needs.

Copies of commercially published software evaluations and an index of over
10,000 software programs are available. The Center welcomes software lists
from state and local education agencies. The Technology Resources Center
does not evaluate or recommend hardware or software. The Center sponsors
the Special Interest Group on Applications of CD-ROM to Education (SigAce).
These meetings provide an opportunity for professional educators to view
new programs, products, and technologies as well as to discuss their impact
and use in the classroom.

The Center does not lend software or equipment. It does not permit the
copying of programs, nor does it endorse or evaluate products, publica-
tions, and systems. The Center's equipment is used solely for demonstra-
tion.

The Center is open from 9:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Advance appointments are suggested. The Center is located in the Research
Library of the U.S. Department of Education, which can be found at 80 F
St., N.W., on the street level in the Capitol Place Building, mid-block
between New Jersey Ave., N.W. and North Capitol St. The Union Station Metro
stop is 2 blocks away. A commercial parking garage is under the building.

IDAHO

Master of Science in Instructional and Performance Technology at a Distance

The Master of Science degree in Instructional and Performance Technology
(IPT) at Boise State University is designed to prepare students for careers
in the areas of instructional design, job performance improvement, human
resources, training, and training management. The IPT program is perfor-
mance-oriented. Students learn how to think strategically, be proactive,
and design interventions (predominantly training or instruction) that will
get the desired results. They learn how to define and clarify those results
and how to integrate training with other factors that impact human perform-
ance.

In addition to the traditional mode of delivering on-campus classes, Boise
State also offers the IPT degree through distance education. This consti-
tutes an entirely non-resident course of study for a complete M.S. in IPT.
Students all over the continent (and a few overseas) participate in BSU's
IPT program from their home locations through time- and location-flexible
(TLF) classes.

TLF classes are conducted by computer conferencing (via personal computers
and telephone connections). TLF classes are distinct from correspondence
courses in important ways: each student in the class sees the questions and
comments of all the rest of the students in a natural flow of normal class
discussion and interaction between teacher and student and among peer
students is much more immediate than possible through mailing systems.
Computer conferencing permits (and encourages) a high level of interaction
among class members.

TLF classes are delivered through a combination of media in addition to
computer conferencing. For example, the media used might include printed
materials, videotapes, audio tapes, computer-assisted instruction, computer
programs, data bases, slow-scan video, facsimiles, and personal telephone
contact.

The distance option of the IPT program uses the same admission standards
and required courses as the on-campus option. However, the tuition is
higher than for on-campus classes and special equipment is required. The
curriculum lends itself to students taking one or two courses per semester
(including the summer session) in order to complete the program in two to
four years.

The distance option is fully accredited by the Northwest Association of
Schools and Colleges (NASC). Distance students in the program have been
enthusiastic about the rigor and value of their academic experience.

ENGLAND

The Open Polytechnic

A new institution, the Open Polytechnic (OP), has been created in England
by 20 institutions. The first issue of OPUS: NEWSLETTER OF THE OPEN
POLYTECHNIC (March 1991--see accompanying information under the Periodicals
section) contains a number of articles explaining how the OP works and what
it will do. It is described as "a bold enterprise to support the expansion
of higher education . . ." and "to open up new markets for the expertise
and skills of educators in Britain's polytechnics and higher education
colleges. It aims to increase and widen study opportunities--for individ-
uals, organizations and companies. It will provide lecturers and prospec-
tive students with a new range of high-quality open learning materials,
within a framework which provides local support to both provider and
customer." Materials will be developed and produced (the focus will be on
producing modules rather than entire courses) by the Open Polytechnic using
the academic strengths, expertise and resources of the 20 member polytech-
nics and colleges.

The OP is an association of existing institutions--it will not enroll its
own students or award degrees. The students are enrolled at member institu-
tions. But, says David Hardy, its first chief executive, "it is not simply
a publishing house. It has an important role to play in the expansion of
higher education. Government, business and institutions themselves wish to
see more and better higher education and training. Applications for
polytechnic places are up 12 percent on last year. The Government has
called for a doubling of numbers by the year 2014. That sort of growth, at
a level of quality people have rightly come to expect, simply cannot be
achieved through existing teaching and learning methods. Higher education
is going to have to alter some of its institutional arrangements, and
teachers will need training in the use of new methods and in dealing with a
wider variety of students, including those returning to studies after a
break and employees and professionals who want to update their knowledge."
Leslie Wagner, chairman of the Open Polytechnic Foundation and director of
the Polytechnic of North London, says "The Open Polytechnic is going to be
a major provider of learning materials for higher education institutions in
the UK and, ultimately, in other parts of the world as well. We have set it
up because we, the polytechnics, need it if we are to continue to meet the
education and training needs of the individual, business and the nation."

DISTANCE EDUCATION and EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY PUBLICATIONS

Finding publications that contain timely and focused information on
distance education and related educational technologies can be a time-con-
suming effort when one is getting started in this field. The October, 1990,
issue of this NEWSLETTER included an extensive list of publications that
feature distance education topics. The periodicals and books listed below
are additions to the list.

As new publications appear (or disappear), they will also be included in
this section of the NEWSLETTER. We would be pleased to hear from our
readers about the publications that they find most useful in the emerging
field of distance education and we will include those as well.
