A study investigated the effects of Interactive Television (ITV--a two-way television system of instruction which is a near replication of face-to-face classroom instruction) on learning. Sixty-seven rural, midwestern high school students who were taking classes via ITV were asked to complete a network analysis survey to identify the frequency of communication interactions students and teachers had with each class member; whether that interaction was personal or social, or work and school related or both; and whether those interactions were face-to-face in class, face-to-face out of class, on the telephone, or across the screen. Students were also administered a field-tested revised student opinion survey, which measured demographics and three dimensions of student attitudes, towards: the class, the technology, and the teacher's use of the technology. A third instrument, the teacher opinion survey, was distributed to the ITV teachers to solicit general information about their teaching experience. Results indicated that remote-site students had consistently less interaction than on-site students, but in total interactions across the screen and total telephone interactions, on-site students generally had a lower mean than remote-site students. Results also indicated that although the teachers appeared to make a concerted effort to mold the multiple sites into one cohesive classroom, they were not completely successful. Results showed that more than three equipment failures per week hindered communication as well.
