Abstract
To assist in meeting the continuing education needs of employed engineers, Colorado State University has inaugurated a program wherein engineers in remote plant sites enroll for graduate credit in courses taught via video tape. The video tapes involved are courier-delivered recordings of campus classes prepared on the previous day. Comparison of achievement data for 192 on-campus students and 432 industry students reflected no significant differ ences in achievement between the two groups. Attitudes toward the course declined more for the off-campus than the on-campus students. Pronounced differences among reactions to instructors were noted with a tendency for instructors to receive higher ratings as the year progressed. In general, the videotape technique was considered effective for the purpose intended and the program is being expanded.
