Using Video CDs For Education

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the low-tech-high-tech dept.

Phil Shapiro writes: "Video CDs offer one of the lowest-cost ways of distributing training and instruction. They can be duplicated much faster than VHS videotapes, the media is much cheaper and the postage costs are much cheaper. Learn how and why we ought to be exploring the educational potential of this new media."

    This sounds like something Jon Katz would try and post.

    Wow, video on CDs.. that's a great idea, but let's fast forward to reality for a second. Just in case anyone has forgotten, there are still plenty of schools in this country that don't even have TVs, let alone computers. Maybe we should focus more on bringing those sub-standard holes up to par and finding & paying good teachers. Creating a bunch of satellite learning centers is just plain unrealistic, unreasonable and will only widen education disparities.

    What's next? supersonic flight? landing a man on the moon?
