International educational technology networks, conclusions and recommendations from the feasibility study

BASED ON INTERVIEWS WITH THESE MANAGERS, OBSERVATIONS INCLUDED HERE DISCUSS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MANAGERS OF INSTRUCTIONAL RADIO AND TV PROJECTS, THEIR NEEDS AND INFORMATION SOURCES, THEIR CRITICISMS OF PAST OF EXISTING NETWORKS, AND THE PROBLEMS WHICH THEY THINK MIGHT BE SOLVED THROUGH SUCH AN INTERNATIONAL ENDEAVOR. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS CITED ARE AN ENDORSEMENT BY NETWORK MANAGERS FOR SUCH A NETWORK PLAN -- IF IT WOULD BE PROBLEM ORIENTED, OFFER A NETWORK OFFICE TO FACILITATE COMMUNICATION, AND INITIALLY HAVE OUTSIDE FUNDING. THE PRIME FOCUS IS THAT LDCS CAN PROVIDE EACH OTHER WITH ASSISTANCE IN EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY THAT WOULD HELP RESOLVE THE SOCIAL PROBLEMS IN THEIR COUNTRIES. SPECIFIC FINDINGS ARE PRESENTED IN TWO REPORTS, PN-AAD-542 AND PN-AAD-543.
