3.  Television (TV) is a telecommunication
medium for transmitting and receiving
moving images that can be
monochrome (black-and-white) or
colored, with accompanying sound.
 "Television" may also refer specifically to a
television set, television programming,

broadcasting studios via satellite signals to
local stations or cable distributors.
 Educational television is the use of
television programs in the field of distance
education. It may be in the form of
individual television programs or dedicated
specialty channels

5. The aim of education is to give quality to
human nature. Student wants to see the face
of the teacher where he/she is not able to see
from the books and texts. Educational
television provides answer to this need:
Programs aim to particular audience parallel
to formal education creates practical goals.

6. The television is used in distance education for:
 Supporting and enhancing teaching
 Instructing
 Explaining, clarifying
 Summarizing
 Reinforcement
 Motivation and encouragement
 Using as supplementary for the other materials
 Imposing study speed ( determining rate of study)
 Presenting a reference to large masses
 Changing behavior
 Presenting unreachable facts and events

7.  Huge number of channels and
programs
 Can reach so far regions (cross
Continents).
 Presentation of both sound and moving
pictures.
 Can be synchronously broadcast (live)
or asynchronously (previously recorded)
…

8.  Since most people have watched television, the
medium is familiar.
 Motion and visuals can be combined in a single
format so that complex or abstract concepts can be
illustrated through visual simulation. The old cliche "a
picture is worth a thousand words" rings true.
 Instructional television is an effective way to take
students to new environments (the moon, a foreign
country, or through the lens of a microscope).
 Time and space can be collapsed, so that events
can be captured and relayed as they happen.
 It is very effective for introducing, summarizing, and
reviewing concepts.
 It can be used effectively as a motivational tool.

9.  Broadcast quality ITV is expensive to create.
 Video production is time consuming and can be
technically demanding, often requiring relatively
sophisticated production facilities and equipment.
 Sites choosing to interactively participate in an ITV
program may require specialized equipment, facilities, and
staffing.
 Most prepackaged ITV courses use a mass media
approach to instruction aimed at the average student. As
a result, they can be ineffective in serving students with
special needs.
 When used passively, without interaction, its instructional
effectiveness can be limited.
 Unless professionally produced, completed ITV programs
often look amateurish.
 Once completed, ITV programs can be difficult to revise
and update.

10.  Broadcasting entire lesson but the instructor
and the students are separated (maybe also
in different countries).
 Simulating normal classes (face to face) but
with no interaction.
 The instructor can go in depth of the
information like face to face.

11.  The ability of understanding and
comprehending information presented via
television.
 long-term exposure to the effects of television
 the effects of televised messages on the
socialization of children.
 concern for receiving skills (media literacy)
