Michigan State University-Rockford Two-Way Cable Project. System Design, Application Experiments and Public Policy Issues. Final Report, Volume I: Summary.
Baldwin, Thomas F.; And Others
This volume describes the development and implementation of a two-way interactive cable television communication system and its effectiveness in urban administration. The full report is contained in Volume II (see related document), and the computer program documentation is in Volume III, Michigan State University-Rockford Two-Way Cable Project: Minicomputer System Software. The 4-year project in Rockford, Illinois, tested the minicomputer-controlled interactive instruction capability of two-way cable against more traditional learning situations during a 12-lesson course in prefire planning administered to the city's fire department. Included here are a comprehensive account of the experiment, a description and discussion of the two-way technology and its performance, a cost analysis for the training program, and the public policy implications of the project.
