Overview. Our efforts in scheduling, training, and trouble-shooting Interactive Television (ITV) classes and videoconferences are intended to promote and improve the educational and communication experiences of our clients while continuing our tradition of excellence in service.

History a Western's ITV program began in the fall of 1984 with one Speech Communication course being taught in Bowling Green and sent with one-way video to Owensboro, KY via microwave transmission. The two-way audio interaction was accomplished through the use of telephone conference sets in each room. This system remained in use until the early 1990s. During the 1992-94 years, WKU expanded its ITV operation to include Glasgow and Fort Knox extended campuses, as well as utilizing VTEL's video compression system to transmit two-way audio and video over dedicated T-1 telephone lines.

During the first decade of ITV service, 35 faculty members from 10 departments offered 95 courses with an enrollment of over 2,500 students.. Proin dictum elementum velit.
