Learning By Telephone
Lectures and language courses are being given by telephone in Wisconsin. By means of amplifying devices supplied by the telephone company groups of students i!n different places are enabled to follow the class or lecture and ask questions, The method was introduced by the University of Wisconsin extension division to improve and expand opportunities to people to learn, while reducing the costs of transporting instructors.
Young people in 28 high schools are learning five foreign languages by a combination of correspondence study and telephone classes supplied by the university. By the same technique 200 doctors tn 18 hospitals have been following a 24-week course of instruction from the university’s medical centre. Eight to ten hospital “classes” are on the circuit at the same time, and each hears questions asked by the other groups and the answers the lecturer provides. (UNESCO Features.)
