In 1989 the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) located in Boulder, Colorado, founded the Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications (WCET) as a resource for the 15 western states. At the first annual meeting, delegates from outside the WICHE states petitioned to join. The original membership agreed. By 2004, WCET had over 250 members representing 43 states and seven countries. WCET had become an international, member-driven service agency.

Educational Telecommunications

Systematic evaluation of distance-education programs is necessary for program improvement (formative) and accountability (summative). When evaluating distanceeducation programs, it is advisable to consult the best practices literature for determining the criteria and standards for quality programming in order to judge the merit and worth of the program under consideration. The most frequently cited reference for best practices comes from the Western Cooperative for Educational Telecommunications (1997) (http://www.wiche.edu/ telecom/), otherwise known as WICHE. Pennsylvania State University (PSU) (1998) published a document for designing distance-education programs that incorporate the literature base of best practices. WICHE and PSU offer principles for best practices in distance education in regard to curriculum and instruction, institutional context and commitment, and evaluation and assessment. General concerns with each category should be considered in developing an instrument for measuring quality in distance-education programs (Law, Hawkes, & Murphy, 2002).

Twelve years have gone by since federal funding of educational television began in the United States; seven years since the goal of a national service that is also responsible to local needs was set by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967. Today there is a working national system which encompasses both educational and cultural purposes. But many of the original ambitious objectives have not yet been attained and much of the system has grown in response to day to day problems. In an effort to clarify the policy issues and identify future needs for educational telecommunications, the Communication Research Laboratory of Battelle Memorial Institute conducted a planning study for the U.S. Office of Education in 1973. This study was based on evaluations of published information, tempered by in-depth interviews of policy makers, site visits, and lengthy discussions with more than sixty educational broadcast licensees. This paper is based on highlights of the Battelle study.

Educational Information

Educational telecommunications and information systems are in various stages of coming into being. Several systems of various types are described, including computer-managed instruction systems, computerized vocational guidance systems, two-way interactive cable systems, educational information systems and videotaping for guidance. Examples of the kinds of information being collected or displayed by such systems are presented. Privacy considerations which arise from the use of such systems are discussed and privacy issues requiring attention in the future are identified.
