Evaluation of the AFIT Teleteach Expanded Delivery System (TEDS) Method of Instruction for SYS 223 System Program Management

摘要

The School of Systems and Logistics is responsible for providing graduate and professional continuing education (PCE) to the Air Force and, in selected areas, to the Department of Defense (DoD). Neither the facilities nor the manpower, however, has been available to meet the demand for the continuing education program. As a result, AFIT implemented a telephonic educational delivery system to help provide the quantity of education necessary to prevent backlogs. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the learning effectiveness of TEDS versus nonTEDS instruction and the degree of TEDS acceptance by students and instructors. Based on an evaluation of three offerings of Systems Program Management, the author concluded that TEDS did not adversely effect learning, the majority of TEDS students considered TEDS acceptable, and instructors presented no clear consensus on TEDS acceptance.
