Distance Instruction

[Beyer, Tom]

last year (1996-97) I taught basic Russian to thirty students at six
remote sites over Vermont interactive television. I did over 150 live
broadcasts and would be happy to chat with you about the issues
involved-you probably want to contact me directly and we can set up a
time to chat.
