Two applications of distance education methods at the undergraduate and graduate levels are described in this article. The experiment in graduate education employed video-conferencing to teach a course in the Master of Nursing program at the University of Alberta. Centres connected by a coaxial cable in two cities with 8-10 students in each were used. In the project which followed in undergraduate education, the Faculty of Nursing undertook to provide an entire post-R.N. degree program to centres in central and northern Alberta primarily through the use of distance methods. Arts and science courses are taken through Athabasca University and regular nursing courses in the B.Sc.N program are provided using video-enhanced teleconferencing with several centres on line along with instructors and students on the main campus in Edmonton, Alberta. Details of this very successful program are discussed in the text.
本文介绍了远程教育方法在本科和研究生阶段的两种应用。研究生教育实验采用视频会议在阿尔伯塔大学护理硕士项目中教授一门课程。使用同轴电缆连接两个城市的中心，每个中心有8至10名学生。在随后的本科教育项目中，护理学院主要通过远程教学法为阿尔伯塔省中部和北部的中心提供完整的注册护士后学位课程。文科和理科课程通过阿萨巴斯卡大学修读，护理学学士项目中的常规护理课程则通过视频增强电话会议提供，多个中心在线参与，同时阿尔伯塔省埃德蒙顿主校区的教师和学生也参与其中。文中讨论了这个非常成功的项目的详细情况。
