The Beginnings Knowledge TV began as a basic cable television channel designed for low-cost education and information delivery. How it Works Knowledge TV is distributed via satellite, broadcast, cable and the Internet. Courses can be videotaped for viewing at convenient times. Pre-recorded videocassettes also are available. Attendance is a matter of personal scheduling.
Courses normally run for a quarter or a semester, similar to on-campus classes.
Instructor contact is through telephone, mail, e-mail, and teleconferences. A Public Private Partnership Knowledge TV is a public private partnership. The public partners are more than 30 U.S. universities, community colleges and other education providers. Knowledge TV electronically distributes these institutions' degree programs throughout the United States and internationally. Knowledge TV is a private, entrepreneurial effort.
