Several models exist for production methods that can be used in the development of instructional materials for use in television- or computer-based instructional programs. These models include the established audiovisual industry that currently produces educational films and similar materials; consortia of educational institutions sharing in the development and distribution of courseware; nonprofit agencies for instructional television, cooperating with state education departments; computer manufacturing companies; and major public and commercial broadcasting networks. Several methods exist for coping with the high costs of courseware development: government and private foundation grants are available, consortium members can share costs, and the computer hardware and software industries can be relied upon to meet the costs in return for ownership of the resulting products. The author of this document recommends establishing consortia to produce video courseware and depending on the computer industry to produce microcomputer courseware until the consortia can develop sufficient resources to enter that field as well.
