The recommendations in this paper are based on the findings of a survey of 32 institutions that had subscribed--for a fee--to receive live via satellite one or more of five staff development teleconferences for school teachers and administrators. The teleconferences, which were one-way video/two-way audio productions, were broadcast during 1985-86 by the College of Education of Oklahoma State University. Data were collected via telephone interviews with representatives of 30 of the 32 teleconference receiving sites, which included public schools, vocational-technical schools, colleges and universities, a state department of education, and a hospital. Respondents were queried about the use and coordination of the teleconferences at their institutions and asked for suggestions on how originating institutions and receiving institutions might improve the utilization and effectiveness of such teleconferences. They were also asked to assess the feasibility and potential benefits of several features of teleconferences, i.e., advance readings, hand-out materials, interaction between the sites and the national presenters, and local discussion and "wraparound programming." Seven hypotheses suggested by the study are listed, and extensive and detailed recommendations based on the survey findings are provided for the design, production, and promotion of teleconferences by the originating institution, as well as coordination and promotion of the teleconferences at receiving institutions. The bibliography lists 38 sources that were cited in the dissertation study. (DJR)
