 | | Television programs are clearly far more costly to produce and to transmit than radio programs, especially if they are broadcast over public networks and expected to meet production standards similar to those of news, documentary, and entertainment programs. |
 | | Television comes into its own in a multiple-media distance education courseused to demonstrate scientific or laboratory experiments, to broadcast field trips, case studies, or performances, and to help visualize dynamic processes and sequences of events. |
 | | And unless students have access to recording equipment, at home or at local study centers, the ephemeral nature of the broadcast must be taken into account in determining its educational objectives and its place in a distance course. |
