Tracking the New Technology. A Summary of the Second Invitational Postsecondary Educational Review Panel.
Sterling, C. H.
The second educational technology review panel addressed problems with forecasting the trends and impact of newer telecomunications technologies in both home and institution of higher education settings, and the role of several grant programs in educational technology. Paul Mertins provided an update on a National Center for Education Statistics computer literacy project, and Peter Dirr and David LeRoy discussed a forthcoming Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) survey. A panel on forecasting the telecommunications market included John Carey, New York University; Kathleen Criner, American Newspaper Publishers Association; Paige Everhart, Hope Reports; Harold Horowitz, National Endowment for the Arts (NEA); Charles Jones, IBM; Dana Kadison, independent consultant formerly with Warner/Atari; Charlotte LeGates, Computer and Business Manufacturers Association; and Charles Oliver, CBS, Inc. Educational administrators' need for knowledge of the potential of new delivery systems was addressed by Marc Tucker of the Carnegie-sponsored Project on Information Technology and Education, Charles Jones of IBM, and John Robinson of the University of Maryland. Participants in the final panel discussion on grant programs in media and educational technologies were Steve Ehrmann, Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education; Dick Humber and Grace Cavallari, National Endowment for the Humanities; Peter Dirr and Mara Mayor, CPB; and Harold Horowitz, NEA. Final comments concerned funding programs and ideas for future panel meetings. (LMM)
