Description
Summary:Some developing nations, such as Iran, have the resources for rapid economic development. Typically, that development requires very large and rapid expansion of education and training programs. An educational television (ETV) system is shown to be an effective tool for providing the needed expansion as long as it is used primarily for training adults. This conclusion is based on a detailed analysis of successful ETV operations in the United States and Great Britain. Specific functions needed for effective ETV application are identified, and organizational guidelines are proposed.
