Creating Materials for Interactive Television ("Winging it" doesn't Work)

Abstract

This article looks beyond camera skills to focus on the planning and development efforts needed to make televised instruction a rich and productive experience for learners. Jim Hall, an experienced TV instructor who has coached more than 300 university faculty members and corporate trainers on how to teach on television, describes the design of instructional materials, student and instructor guides, and graphics that will add value to interactive TV courses for both teachers and learners.
