| Abstract | A study examined a pilot program, begun by the State of West Virginia, offering fully accredited first and second year core college courses via satellite television to state residents who either had not attended college or who had "stopped out" of academic studies for a period of time. The study explored a course based on CMM 103, Fundamentals of Speech Communication, which enrolled 26 students, 24 women and 2 men, and the methods of teaching, using on-camera lecturers and on-site facilitators. The study reviewed the difficulties encountered, including problems with equipment, workbooks, broadcast times, and delays with feedback on completed work. The study finds that, in spite of these difficulties, student response to the course was exceedingly enthusiastic. Results indicated that the quality of student work was comparable to that of non-traditional students in evening sections of the basic course, with more than 60% of the students earning grades of B or better, no grades lower than C, and 2 students withdrawing in the first 2 weeks of the term. Findings suggest that audio reception between the remote sites and the broadcast studio need improvement for clear and effective use of student responses which would also allow questions and issues to be dealt with immediately, and that greater preparation time was needed to create visuals, examples, and vignettes to enhance the presentation of subject matter.
