James F. Evans Collection; reprinted from Journal of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Education 22 (1) : 11-21, 1993 Spring, Mimeographed, 1993. 11 p. (Paper presented at the 1993 International Agricultural Communicators in Education conference; 1993 May 8-12; Miami, FL), A telecourse on sustainable agriculture was offered nationally by Iowa State University in Spring 1991. Nontraditional methods for distance delivery of information and student-instructor interaction were employed. Course broadcasts were delivered via AG*SAT, a consortium of land-grant colleges and universities formed to share agricultural instruction via satellite distribution. We describe in detailed our instructional model for distance delivery, technology employed, preproduction activities, budget, time requirements, course content, and student postevaluation results. We provide information and suggestions for individuals and institutions considering production or participation in an AG*SAT course. Experience with this pilot course has demonstrated that there is vision and potential in the AG*SAT concept. Some logistical and conceptual details need refinement to make satellite-based learning the most profitable possible for all participating parties. (original)
