This publication, designed as a supplement to the manual entitled "Managing Programs for Adults" (1983), provides guidelines for establishing or expanding the use of video and computers by administration and staff of adult education programs. The first section presents the use of video technology for program promotion, instruction, and staff development and training. Types of promotional programs and services, a listing of promotional resources, and production of promotional videotapes are discussed. Video use in adult education classrooms and as a means to teach otherwise difficult-to-reach populations is described. This includes ways to use video, its advantages and limitations, materials needed to use video, and cost and sources of videotapes. In addition to practical considerations in buying video equipment and means of ensuring its use, advantages and ways of using video for staff development and training are discussed. The second section addresses instructional and managerial applications of computers to adult and continuing education. Examples drawn from both funded and fee-supported programs provide models of applications. Positive aspects and future potentials for the computer as a management tool are described and the pros and cons of software are explored, along with the alternatives to commercially produced software. An annotated list of supplementary software programs and a directory of vendors and references conclude this section. (YLB)
