Anik-B Interactive Instructional Television Project, October 1, 1979-May 31, 1980. Report Number Two. The Technical System and Its Operation.
Nason, Robert
The Anik-B Project is part of the two-year communications experiments for which the Anik-B satellite is being used. The project was designed to explore the possibilities of using Interactive Instructional Television (IITV) to provide distance postsecondary education for people living in widely scattered and sometimes inaccessible areas of British Columbia. The project proved to be both educationally feasible and acceptable to the people. This Technical Report, the second of six reports stemming from the project, traces the history of the development of the technical system and its operations at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) and at the receiving colleges. It describes each component in the following order: the originating classroom at BCIT; the classrooms at the receiving colleges; the video system; the audio system; the 12-14 GHz system aboard the Anik-B satellite; and the transmitting and receiving terminals made available by the Department of Communications, Canada, and the equipment in the receiving college classrooms.
