An Economical Remote Teaching System

The Arizona remote teaching system (ARTS) provides an inexpensive means of teaching regular college courses wherever and whenever desired. ARTS is described in terms of its three component subsystems: the manuscript generator, reproduction equipment, and playback equipment. The unique record and local playback features of the manuscript generator are emphasized. These features, along with the short programming time required, greatly facilitate the production of software. Different modes and uses of playback equipment are also discussed in some detail. Past, present, and future uses of this remote teaching system are described.
