Distance Learning: Videoconferences as Vehicles for Faculty Development in Gerontology/Geriatrics.

Wood, Joan B.; Parham, Iris A.

Educational Gerontology, v22 n1 p105-15 Jan-Feb 1996

From 1985-1992 the Virginia Geriatric Education Center broadcast via satellite 22 videoconferences involving over 22,000 health professionals in the United States, Canada, and Bermuda. The program required substantial marketing to attract sufficiently large audiences to be cost effective, was labor intensive, and necessitated technical expertise. (SK)
