Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of interactive television (ITV) on the educational experiences of both distance and campus-based BSW students. Data were collected through questionnaires and semistructured focus groups with students on campus and at distant sites. The study found distinct differences between the experiences of distance and campus-based students in ITV courses. Distance students evaluated the ITV technology significantly more positively than did campus-based students. In particular, campus-based students believed that the technology interfered with the flow of class discussions, and both groups reported a lack of a cohesive community among students from different sites. The article suggests improvements in ITV distance education, including incorporating better classroom management techniques, creating community-building activities, and providing physical environments more conducive to learning.
