Some aspects of television usage in a tertiary institution

During the last decade there has been a rapid increase
in the use of television in tertiary institutions and
there are few, if any, who do not have a significant
financial commitment to television equipment either in a
large audio visual centre or in unco-ordinated departmental
units.
In a series of five experiments the field study seeks
to assess the possible effects on the learning process of
two aspects of present television usage:-
- the technical limitations of existing
U-matic equipment.
- the conditions under which the material
will be viewed.
Results show that when used for first-generation
recording and convenient replay access,U-matic equipment
has proved reliable and useful but when used for multigeneration
recording, editing and dubbing, technical
problems can affect the attitudes of the viewers.
Similarly the difficulty experienced in trying to
control viewing conditions in many existing teaching
areas appears to be a major limitation in the effective
use of media.
