Abstract	The Texas Interactive Instructional Network (TI-IN), a private satellite system that provides one-way video and two-way audio communication, was used for a two-year pilot project which was conducted to determine if satellite instruction could be used successfully to share educational resources among institutions. Models of Teaching, a graduate course in education, was offered by Texas Tech University, and another graduate course was offered by the University of Houston, Clear Lake. This two-part report presents both a description of the process used at Texas Tech University and experiences from which lessons were learned while teaching the course, and the results of a survey of the 31 students who completed the course. Topics covered in the first section include the facilities and equipment used; planning for the course; characteristics of the students who enrolled in the course; the course content; the teaching methods used; and the challenges encountered and how they were met. In the spring of 1987, the 31 students who completed the course were sent a 36-item questionnaire designed to assess their opinions of the experience and how it could have been improved. Detailed analyses of the data from the 26 usable responses received and suggestions and observations for others contemplating teaching via satellite conclude this section of the report. Two tables displaying survey data are appended and three references are listed. (RP)
