Problem: The availability of educational resources is often a function of school size. Smaller, more remote schools may often be unable to provide advanced educational programs for the relatively small number of interested or qualified students. Proposed solution: The Star Channels program currently operating in Kentucky offers a way to provide some of these educational programs to students who might otherwise not have the option. Using the Kentucky Educational Television satellite link between schools, these advanced courses are taught over the television system. Beyond simply providing a braodcast of lessons, though, the system allows feedback through a wireless keypad used by the student. The immediate feedback allows the teacher to evaluate and adjust the lesson as it progresses. In addition, teachers serving as "facilitators" are present with the students to provide assistance, and students can call tutors in the evenings for more help. The state funds the program. Evaluation: The program has enabled more remote students a wider range of educational options. It has also been used to provide continuing coursework for the teachers themselves. Contact: Virginia G.
