- Abstract
Extension professionals often communicate program outcomes to external stakeholders using impact statements. We developed and evaluated four impact statements for the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). We drafted the statements after conducting literature reviews for core content areas of EFNEP that include diet quality, food resource management, physical activity, and food safety. Subsequently, we evaluated the statements by facilitating expert panels made up of subject matter experts and communication professionals(n=14) from 12 Land-grant Universities. These impact statements aim to support EFNEP and other Extension professionals when communicating program value with key external stakeholders.

- Abstract
This volume enlarges upon questions concerning censorship and self-censorship and provides case studies as well as theoretical reflection on the relationship between new technology and media freedom. The seven essays included in this collection deal with two central contemporary problems of the mass media--freedom and democracy. The papers are: "Exit the Censor, Enter the Regulator" (Leonard R. Sussman); "Impact of New Information and Communication Technologies on Information Diversity in North America and Western Europe" (Nicholas Garnham); "The Impact of Electronic Mass Media in Sweden" (Charly Hulten); "Video-Cassette Recorders in Ghana: Impact on Press Freedom in Sub-Saharan Africa" (S. T. Kwame Boafo); "New Communication Technologies and Information Freedom in Latin America" (Rafael Roncagliolo); "New Communication Technologies and Press Freedom: A Chilean Case Study" (Fernando Reyes Matta); and "The Media as Fourth Estate: A Survey of Journalism Educators' Views" (Colin Sparks and Slavko Splichal). The first three papers are concerned with the larger picture and the larger media; the second three are concerned with the "marginal" rather than the dominant media; and the final paper deals with some of the problems of the media and democracy in terms of their staff and resources.

Lincoln, Yvonna S.
- Abstract
This descriptive study examines how the proliferation of electronic hook-ups to remote locations, to databases, and particularly to electronic mail (e-mail), is changing the work, communication patterns and self-image of higher education faculty. In particular the study examined whether technological acquisition had an impact on professors' perceptions of their "invisible colleges", and whether or not there were systematic differences between men and women in their constructions of these changes in their worklife. Explored are "invisible colleges," scientific communities whose members do not live and work in close proximity; human-machine interaction; and literature on gender differences in computer skill acquisition processes and psychological approaches to exploration of computer logic. In-depth open-ended interviews were conducted with six new electronic mail users. Additional data were derived from one network's ongoing conversations regarding the nature of "community." Results indicated that users conversing regularly on networks were forming "communities" with self-conscious discussion of "courtesy" and fair intellectual exchange; that e-mail has made communication between scholars more democratic and broader particularly for women; that style of conversation is informal and humorous; and that mastering the technology had different effects on men's and women's self-image.

Rothstein, Russell I. and McKnight, Lee
- Abstract
Cost models representing equipment, services, software, and training needs are presented for evaluating the total cost of fully connecting K-12 schools to a national information infrastructure (NII). Analysis indicate that the baseline service required for connecting to the NII will cost $9.4 to $22.0 billion in one-time costs with annual maintenance costs of $1.8 billion to $4.6 billion or $212 to $501 in one-time installation costs and an ongoing annual cost of $40 to $105 per pupil respectively. Hardware is the most significant cost item for schools. PC expenditures represent most of the hardware costs, and costs for support of the network represent about one-third of all networking. Support and training together constitute 46 percent of the total costs of networking schools, and costs for telecommunications lines and services represent only 11 percent of the total costs. If all schools coordinate purchasing at the state level, cost savings will exceed $2 billion. If a nationwide program were instituted, potential savings would be $800 million to $1.8 billion. Free Internet connectivity would provide a reduction in total costs for school Internet connections between $150 million and $630 million. Financing for school networking remains to be adequately addressed. (Contains 13 references.) (GR)

12. The Basic Course in Communication: A Critical Intercultural and Participatory Approach
- Author
-
Chelsea Slack
- Abstract
This paper advocates for using critical intercultural and participatory pedagogy as the basis for an introductory communication course. Communication programs are often concerned with the basics -- teaching students to communicate effectively through writing and speaking. Yet the methods for teaching these two classic competencies diverge widely, with some instructors opting for a more traditional approach and others taking a more modern one. A divide also exists in the way today's students are viewed by educators in secondary and, in particular, post-secondary educational institutions. Where some teachers see lamentable shortcomings of millennials and Gen Z, others see infinite possibilities in these students. Either way, colleges and universities are dealing with a generation of students that is more diverse, connected, tech-savvy, and socially aware than ever before. This paper explores the advantages of using critical intercultural pedagogical practices -- practices which are necessarily cooperative, multimodal, and participatory -- to reach the students of today.

15. Paper Trails

Fernandez, Kim
- Abstract
With more and more people attached to their computers, it's no wonder that publications are increasingly going online. Magazines are either supplementing their print content with online bonus information, such as extended features, photos, audio files, or videos, or looking to ditch the printing presses entirely to focus on all-electronic publishing. While publishers seem to love the instant-news nature of online publishing and the cost savings that come with avoiding paper and postage, readers in a variety of surveys say they'd far prefer to hold a publication in their hands instead of on their desktops. Most educational institutions are still printing magazines on paper, but many have either scaled back their publications' frequencies or begun supplementing print versions with online publications. Some are bumping up their online presence to include additional features that aren't included in their traditional magazines. And if they haven't started publishing online in some format, many say they're seriously thinking about where and how to start. The purists, however, say a printed magazine is a fundamental part of the communications strategy of an educational institution. These paper proponents say that they'll find the money in the budget to continue printing their main outreach publications on paper, and that cuts will occur elsewhere. While others aren't necessarily looking to increase their hard-copy publications, they do say that print is an amazing value in terms of cost to reach alumni and friends. Most editors think it's here to stay for the long term, working, in most cases, alongside electronic communications.

Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and Rizza, Caroline
- Abstract
This working paper aims to give an overview of the national policies that exist in the field of information and communication technology (ICT) and initial teacher education. Information on this topic was initially gathered via a survey, in the form of a country questionnaire, which was conducted as part of the analytical strand of the the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) study entitled "ICT and Initial Teacher Education." All of this work has been carried out under the auspices of the "New Millennium Learners" project. Responses to the survey were received from the following countries: Austria, Australia, Belgium (Flanders), Chile, Denmark, Finland, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Some of the responses have been used in this report. In addition, desk research was conducted for 31 OECD countries. Special attention was given to the dates and to the last revisions of the documents in order to ensure the relevance of the information collected. Official country reports, work plans, official texts (decrees, laws) and articles constitute the main material of this study. Multiple sources have been used: databases, official government websites, key stakeholders. The review was completed in January 2009; therefore, reforms and updates of the policies implemented after January 2009 have not been taken into account. On the basis of these documents, three categories are proposed for understanding the extent to which countries have addressed the issue of ICT and initial teacher education: (1) Lack of relevant information concerning ICT and initial teacher education; (2) Category 2: Developing awareness of the stakes of ICT and initial teacher education; and (3) Category 3: Inclusion of ICT in initial teacher education at several levels. The first part of this report presents a comparison of national policies by classifying each of them in one of these three categories. The second part of this report proposes a complementary analysis of these results by first discussing some limits to the initial broad classification of countries in these categories and then presenting key elements of comparison in order to estimate the level of coherence of these policies. Country Questionnaire is appended. (Contains 4 tables and 41 notes.)

17. Supporting Source Integration in Student Writing

Refaei, Brenda, Kumar, Rita, Wahman, M. Lauren, and Peplow, Amber Burkett
- Abstract
A cross-disciplinary team of composition, communication, and library faculty used lesson study to investigate interdisciplinary instructional strategies to improve students' use of quoting in their writing. The team developed a three-class lesson plan to introduce the concept of quoting, practice the concept, and allow students to reflect on their use of quotations in their writing. We collected a pre and post quiz to measure students' understanding before and after the lesson, students' practice paragraphs, students' reflections, and students' final course research assignments. These samples were analyzed by the research team. Our evidence suggests that students can articulate how a quote from a source should be integrated into their writing by describing how they would use a signal phrase and quotation marks, but they have difficulty in applying this complex skill in their own writing even after focused instruction on how to use quotes.

- Abstract
Three papers set the framework for a 1982 program session on document delivery organized by the Library of Congress Network Advisory Committee. Following a list of committee members, the first paper, by James L. Wood describes: (1) dimensions of document delivery activity in the United States including statistics on borrowing and lending organizations, document delivery transactions, fill rates, turnaround times, types of documents requested, and costs; (2) component parts of the current document delivery process, incorporating awareness of document existence; identification of sources for borrowing; request verification, generation, transmittal, and processing; loan or copy transmittal; fee payment; and return of originals; and (3) changes expected in the document delivery process up to 1986. A glossary and explanation of acronyms are provided. The second paper, by M. E. L. Jacob, briefly reviews the technologies affecting document delivery in terms of input, storage, communication, and output. A bibliography is supplied. The third paper, by Susan H. Crooks, sets the stage for the future of libraries in the year 2000 by creating five scenarios encompassing a printed text service without books, a national reference service provided by a public corporation, a community culture center, a college/university information service, and an institute of research libraries. The impact of technology and market developments on library services is also discussed. (ESR)

- Abstract
A group of senior-level communications professionals who were brought together to discuss strategies for working successfully with student newspapers developed the following recommendations: (1) Some basics: appreciate the educational value of the student newspaper; read the student paper. (2) Establishing a relationship: when editors and reporters begin their terms, explain to them how the university works; encourage student journalists to consider the communications office as a source of direction and information; treat student journalists with respect; plan systematic contact with the student newspaper; understand that student reporters covering important university officials and "celebrities" may become star struck; involve editors and reporters in other aspects of the campus community; assist students to become professional journalists. (3) When something newsworthy occurs on campus: involve student journalists from the beginning; put the event in historical context; suggest related issues and other sources; give student journalists the same access as is given to other reporters and editors; be willing to provide other sides to the story. The group also posed several questions for the future: how to explain to the public the nature of the relationship between the institution and the student newspaper; and how to deal with emerging online issues. The list of participants and contact information is appended. (CH)

- Abstract
For several years, the Office of Telecommunications Policy has initiated projects investigating the potential of telecommunications as a method for alleviating some of the problems of rural America. In the course of these investigations, a number of insights have been gained relating both to the match between rural problems and telecommunications solutions and to some of the issues involved in service delivery via telecommunications wherever the delivery takes place. Covering some of the issues raised during these investigations, this paper discusses: (1) the rural setting, trends, background, and traditional public services (education, health, public works, public safety, and recreation); (2) some of the alternative technologies (telephone, coaxial cable, radio, video broadcasting, microwave, and satellites); (3) significant characteristics and comparative advantages of cable and local telephone systems; (4) some aspects of the "software problem"; (5) the development of methodology for identifying the communications requirements of localities; and (6) the compilation, codification and analysis of information already available. Several representative studies and demonstrations pertaining to health services, services to the elderly, educational services, public safety, and administrative services are outlined. (NQ)

- Abstract
Government agencies should investigate alternative service delivery systems in rural areas in order to overcome the problems of scope and distance. In examining alternative technologies, questions of feasibility, efficiency and effectiveness should be addressed. Numerous experiments, demonstrations, random innovations, and research studies have explored the match between specific telecommunications technologies and the delivery of specific services. Some have produced information on the effects of using comprehensive telecommunications systems to deliver various services. Others have indicated that certain results cannot be generalized across localities. Implementation of a program to bring broadband communications to unserved and underserved rural areas should begin as soon as possible. However, before deciding whether to begin large scale broadband system demonstrations in rural areas, two research tasks should be completed--the integration and analysis of existing knowledge and the development of a methodology for identifying the communications requirements of localities. The Office of Telecommunications Policy has initiated a two-year program to assess the adequacy of current mechanisms for Federal assistance to rural areas seeking to upgrade their telecommunications, and to develop, if necessary, a more effective and efficient Federal program for providing such assistance.

- Abstract
In this paper, the first in a series of working papers on various significant aspects of advertising, the author examines in depth the writings of four essayists who have looked at advertising from the institutional viewpoint. James Carey sees advertising's basic institutional function as market information and the secondary function as social control; Vincent Norris views the institution's function as being an instrument of attempted market control for producers. David Potter sees the institution as an instrument of social control in an abundant society; and to C. H. Sandage, the institution's purpose is to inform and persuade people in order to help achieve abundance. (JM)

The papers explore aspects of three broad themes central to the administration's science and technology (ST) policies and strategies for their implementation: (1) optimizing use of limited resources for research and development (R&D) so that ST can be used more effectively to achieve national goals; (2) developing a set of equitable and consistent guidelines, within the administration's overall ST policy, for dealing with the generation, organization, and dissemination of ST information; and (3) encouraging implementation, by the private sector, of new technologies that can increase the productivity and international competitiveness of U.S. industry. Papers (each preceded by an abstract) focus on: international cooperation in science--U.S. role in megaprojects; trends in collective industrial research; impact of increased defense R&D expenditures on the U.S. research system; training and utilization of engineering technicians and technologists; national security controls and scientific information; issues in ST information policy; legal and regulatory implications of the video telecommunications revolution; trends in computers and communications--offices of the future; and fostering use of advanced manufacturing technology.

CAUSE, Boulder, CO. and Heterick, Robert C.
- Abstract
Strategic planning for information systems and descriptions of the products needed to purvey an institution's information resources as though they were delivered from a single, integrated system are featured, emphasizing strategy and tactics. Various accepted premises for the current state of higher education information systems are set forth. Part I focuses on an information systems strategy (adopting a strategic view, identifying a strategic course, pluralism, and financing). Part II looks at a single system image in terms of the image; implementing the single system image; and issues for knowledge-based implementation. Part III discusses a new paradigm. It notes the paradigm for campus information systems turns from a mainframe-centered Ptolemaic model to a user-centered Copernican model, thus making it necessary to redefine responsibilities. An important goal is creating a single system image that provides the ubiquity and simplicity associated with the telephone system. This effort will require shifting many current burdens from the user to a knowledge-based network and rationalizing the way the user relates to services provided. (SM)

Bates, A. W.
- Abstract
This paper discusses challenges to the European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU) in using technology. The first section deals with external challenges to EADTU institutions, including competition from new services, new funding programs, pressure from national governments, and the Europeanization of education. Internal challenges are identified as the need for clearly defined policies regarding transborder activities, low use of technology in member institutions, communication between member institutions (postal services, courier services, telephone, telefacsimile, face-to-face meetings, and audioconferencing), joint course production, transborder delivery of courses, and European-wide course design and delivery. Requirements for member institutions indicated by these challenges are summarized: greater use of established technologies; development of new course designs that exploit new technologies; and development of better communications systems between EADTU institutions. Four references are listed. (MES)

- Abstract
These two papers address the challenge of harnessing the most appropriate media technology to help learning and teaching into the next century. "Motivation, Access, and the Media," presents the case for greater access for learners to the various technologies. The paper makes the case for access to be free at the point of use and argues that the education poor must not also become information poor. It gives an overview of the history of the contribution of the broadcast media to adult learning. "Motivation Is Curriculum," argues that a responsive further education system takes motivation as curriculum. The second paper suggests that there is a set of educational skills in negotiating appropriate programs of learning for young people and adults returning to education so that it is a new and exciting experience rather than a return to the scene of disappointment and failure. It contends that there are important alliances to be fostered with local, regional, and national media that are the natural channels of communication for some of the groups currently underrepresented in further education. Examples are given of successful collaboration with the media to widen participation and increase the profile of adult learning. (YLB)

- Abstract
A key issue facing college and university executives is the best way to organize to provide information services to faculty, staff, and students. Three experienced university executives addressed this issue at the forum on information technology described in this document. They looked at the following topics: how their own institution chose to organize for information technology; what factors led them to organize in this manner; their perceptions of the strengths and weaknesses of this particular choice of organization; and advice to other institutions facing a decision about how to organize for information technology. The papers are as follows: "Information Resource Management: Why Centralize?" (Paige Mulhollan); "Information Technology Management: Finding the Right Fit" (Robert Scott); and "Gaining Acceptance for an IRM Program" (Thomas W. West). A transcript of the concluding question-answer session is appended. (SM)

Mogaji, Emmanuel and Yoon, Hyunsun
- Abstract
Purpose: Prospective students are exposed to abundant choices, and they are eagerly searching for information to select the best universities for themselves. Likewise, prospectuses are regularly produced by universities to meet this information needs; the purpose of this paper is to examine the key marketing messages used in their prospectuses. Design/methodology/approach: The 2017 undergraduate prospectuses of 121 universities in the UK (out of the 134 members of University UK) were thematically analysed using NVivo10. Findings: Messages were predominantly about the location, the course, student experience, credibility and career progression. They are framed in an appealing way, filled with facts and figures, images of beautiful buildings and smiling students, testimonials of facilities and experiences that form a sense of compatibility and belonging. Research limitations/implications: This study provides insights for the higher educational institutions to enhance their future marketing communications strategies in terms of effectively differentiating one university from another by highlighting the predominantly used appeals among 121 prospectuses and the need for adopting a more consistent approach between the clearing period and non-clearing period in terms of designing the prospectuses. This study has considered only the print platform, and therefore future studies should also look at social media and university websites in the context of the integrated marketing communications. Practical implications: Accurate and coherent narratives should be provided, taking into consideration the diverse nature of target audience. Universities need to realise that they can be held responsible for the promises presented in their prospectuses. Using the city appeal by many universities may be challenging, as there is need to attract students not just to the city itself, but to the university's campus. Originality/value: Having a significantly larger sample than any other previous studies in this field, the empirical evidence provided in this paper is rich and in-depth, thanks to the size and age of the sample as well as the integrated and combined methodological approach. Five keys themes with sub-themes, descriptions and examples were provided, suitable for future research in higher education marketing.

37. The Role of Communications in Indian Life. Position Paper.

La Course, Richard V.
- Abstract
There is a need for improved communication among different tribes and for American Indian information dissemination through the mass media. For Indians to become involved in developing talent in the area of media technology, it must be assumed that the individual tribal societies and other Indian communities are human entities coequal with the dominant non-Indian society and that the media technology can be put into the service of Indian people in an Indian fashion for an Indian future by Indian communicators themselves. Communications problems for Indian people are two-fold: the first emanates from within the individual tribal societies, and the second arises from the nature of mass communications today. Indian communications should function in an inward direction toward the rebuilding of the tribal community and in an outward direction toward interpretation of the external society. The 2 immediate bases for media development in the immediate future are the preliminary network of communications already in existence and the media training programs in the Federal schools and universities.

40. An Overview of Communication Research in Asia: Status, Problems and Needs. Papers of the East-West Communication Institute No. 6.

Hawaii Univ., Honolulu. East-West Center. and Feliciano, Gloria D.
- Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the "state of the art" of communication research in Asia. An analysis of the problems of communication research reveals that growth in the field is slow, due to such factors as lack of professionally trained researchers, absence of financial, human, and physical facilities to support research programs, and delayed recognition of the value of communication research, by public and private sectors and by the mass media themselves. Examination of three areas of research--media infrastructure studies, studies of communicators and receivers of messages, and developmental-type studies--indicates that too much emphasis has been placed on audience studies and that the developmental problem area has been neglected. Poor methodology, poorly written reports, and poor dissemination of findings compound the problems in studies conducted. It is suggested that priorities be reorganized to focus future research on interdisciplinary work of both national and multinational scopes. In addition, it is recommended that attention be directed toward developmental problems, so that research findings can be used in accelerating the urbanization and modernization of the Asian region.

- Abstract
This report summarizes the findings of one of fourteen panels that studied progress in space science applications and defined user needs potentially capable of being met by space-system applications. The study was requested by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and was conducted by the Space Applications Board. The panels comprised user specialists drawn from federal, state, and local governments and from business and industry. In this report, the Panel on Uses of Communications explores more than 20 potential new services that can be provided by future satellite communications systems. Such services include improvement in the transmission of information; provision of greater safety to persons and craft at sea, on land, or in the air; location of those in distress; and warning of impending natural disasters. Recommendations are made with regard to mobile communications for use on land and sea, position determination, mineral and energy exploration, and the possibility of using electronic means to assist in mail delivery, and education and health-care experiments.

- Abstract
The widespread use of the micro/personal computer and related technological advancements are having important impacts on information management in the modern electronic office. Some of the most common software applications include word processing, spread sheet analysis, data management, graphics, and communications. Ancillary hardware/software systems being used in offices to improve information management are optical character recognition, facsimile, laser copier/printer, fiber optics, microform/computer systems, networking, and dictating systems. Two other basic concepts emerging from the implementation of the micro/personal computer in business are ergonomics and the information center. Excerpts from leading business journals and independent consultants provide evidence of the importance and acceptance of electronic technologies, savings in office costs through the use of electronic technologies, the growth of computer technologies in the workplace, and the importance of the human factor in this new electronic age. Educational implications from this changing office environment include: (1) computer literacy is essential; (2) everyone should be taught the sight method of keyboarding skill; (3) students should be trained for a grouping of career-related positions; and (4) major revisions are needed at all levels of business education, teacher education, and office administration.

- Abstract
Equipment for two-way cable television (CATV) is becoming available and there are steps we can take to ensure that it is used efficiently. For example a possible obstacle to the orderly development of two-way CATV is competition between CATV and video cassettes. However the two could complement each other if videotape materials were prepared to be sent via CATV to a subscriber's home during non-prime time and recorded on a video cassette for later viewing. There are also several design characteristics that could be built into a two-way CATV system to maximize its long-range usefulness: (1) the subscriber's home terminal could be built so that additional features would be made available by adding rather than replacing equipment; (2) significant changes in the system's central equipment should bring significant changes in system performance without requiring changes in subscribers' equipment; (3) the transmission path connecting home terminals to the central equipment could have enough capability to meet any foreseeable demand.

- Abstract
There are several ways the telephone system may be used for opinion polling and public participation in discussions. The easiest method is individual call-ins to a series of different telephone numbers that each represent a different choice or vote. The only extra equipment needed here is a device that tabulates the total number of calls reaching each number. However any sharp increase in demand for connections to a given telephone exchange can severely overload the telephone system. An alternative is to use an automatic interrogation device that sequentially calls all the participants in a discussion and either asks for their votes or collects votes stored in small attachments on each participant's telephone. Using this technique, some 50,000 participants distributed among 50 central telephone offices could have their votes tabulated and relayed to a central location in about 70 seconds. This technique will be the basis for experiments with citizen feedback in the MINERVA Project being run by The Center for Policy Research. (MG)

- Abstract
The institute, "Innovations in School Librarianship," was conducted by The Florida State University in cooperation with the Florida Department of Education. Participants in the workshop were persons employed as school district level media personnel in Florida public school systems. The purpose was to increase their competence in planning, developing and evaluating effective system-wide media programs. The need for such competence has been sharply accentuated by recent state legislative actions and subsequent policy changes by the Department of Education which mandated an appraisal of all programs as to effectiveness, efficiency, and utilization of resources. The seminar approach was used, enabling participants to exchange views and reinforce principles. Emphasis was placed on the development of evaluative instruments, implementation of standards, procedures to assure accountability, and on the design of needs assessment as they relate to school media programs. Presentations to the entire group was made by staff members and visiting lecturers in order to impart information needed by all of the participants. This document is a record of those presentations.
