THIS WORKSHOP ON THE COORDINATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM PRESENTED MATERIAL OF INTEREST TO PERSONNEL OF BOTH NEW AND ESTABLISHED COLLEGES. FOUR APPROACHES WERE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL--(1) THE USE OF A CORE PROGRAM TO PROVIDE A COMMON EXPERIENCE FOR ALL STUDENTS BEFORE THEY DECIDE BETWEEN AN OCCUPATIONAL COURSE OR HIGHER LEVEL PREPARATION, (2) THE EMPLOYMENT OF A CONSULTANT IN EARLY PLANNING STAGES AND THE RELATED USE OF SURVEYS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM, (3) AN EXAMINATION OF POSSIBLE USES OF ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING FOR ROUTINE DATA COLLECTION AND DISSEMINATION TASKS, AND (4) A SYSTEMS APPROACH TO THE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM, WITH THE ANALYSIS OF THE COURSE TO DEFINE OBJECTIVES, THE FRAMING AND SEQUENCING OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL MODULES, AND THE EVALUATION OF THE LEARNER'S RESPONSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SPECIFIED GOALS. IT WAS EMPHASIZED THAT IT IS THIS RESPONSE PRODUCED BY THE SYSTEM THAT IS IMPORTANT, NOT THE SYSTEM ITSELF. (HH)
