Abstract:
An interactive-video course was designed to utilize poultry industry experts to teach a poultry science course to both employees of two poultry companies and traditional college students. This course was unique in that the "off-campus" site was the originating site for 10 of 14 class sessions. Two surveys were administered to the students enrolled in the course to assess their attitudes toward this type of instructional delivery and the course in general. Students responded with positive attitudes toward their experience with this interactive-video course. Both groups completed the course with an overall "B" average. Course averages were 88.3+/- 6.1 and 82.1+/- 6.7 (based on 100 points) for off-campus and on-campus students, respectively. The use of interactive-video provided an effective technique to use poultry industry experts to train industry employees off campus and enhance poultry science instruction on campus.
