Understanding Television-Based Distance Education: Identifying Barriers to University Attendance.
Hezel, R. T.; Dirr, P. J.
Research in Distance Education, v3 n1 p2-5 Jan 1991
A survey of 100 students enrolled in telecourses in the Annenberg/CPB Project found that time rather than distance was their major constraint. Interaction with faculty was more important than student interaction. More than half had computers at home but would be less inclined to take courses requiring use of computers in the workplace or campus learning centers. (SK)
