Part of the postsecondary educational system in Canada, community colleges offer several types of programs to both students leaving the secondary system and adults who want occupational training or education in the applied arts and human service professions. Like other educational institutions, these two-year colleges have sought to use new technologies both in administration and in teaching and learning. Analyses of the 99 responses received from a survey of 169 colleges conducted in 1983 show that educational film and television and, to a lesser extent, broadcast radio and audiocassettes, are being used in subjects ranging from sports to science, education, and numerous vocational trades. Additionally, nearly 90% of the colleges have or are developing policies and guidelines for the introduction and use of computers in the classroom. Teleconferencing, videotex, satellites, and interactive video are used to a lesser extent, primarily because of the cost of the technology. The survey questionnaire and a list of responding colleges are included. (4 references) (DB)
