Use of an Interactive Telecommunications Network to Deliver Inservice Education

An interactive telecommunication network established by Kentucky Educational Television was used to deliver a series of four inservice education sessions on the topics of learning disabilities and adaptive teaching techniques. Participants included 155 educators from 19 school districts located in rural areas of Kentucky. Participants' reactions indicated that interactive television was an acceptable format for delivery of inservice education. Implications for design and delivery of distance learning inservice training are discussed.
