Computer Managed Instruction by Satellite: Phase I, A Feasibility Study.
Abstract
This study sought to understand the conditions, constraints, and parameters that could influence the design, preparation and conduct of a demonstration involving computer managed instruction by satellite, and also to consider what communications systems would be available to become operational should the demonstration results indicate this is desirable. The eight research goals were to determine: (1) the key requirements that must be met to conduct a demonstration; (2) the preferred communications system; (3) the CMI course that could be used for the demonstration; (4) the operational potential of the demonstration objectives; (5) the demonstration design options that could yield the desired results; (6) whether an economic model could be developed to conduct a cost-effective analysis; (7) the demonstration tasks and schedule for their execution; and (8) the communications systems suitable for operationalizing the concept. Research results led to the conclusion that the demonstration is feasible, and it was recommended that the design work be undertaken.
