These
easy to understand
online classes double as education guides and are the culmination
of
literally 2 thousand plus hours of research and work. For
simplicity sake this website primarily discusses the institute's most
popular education guide.
The
institute's most popular guide has large separate sections for: The History of Enhanced and
Interactive
Television, Enhanced TV, Interactive Television, Interactive Program
Guides & Electronic Program Guides, Walled Gardens,
Timeshifting
(Digital Video Recorders, a.k.a. DVRs), Video on Demand, Media Centers,
Media Center PCs, Home (Media) Servers, Digital Media Receivers,
Digital Media Adapters, Media Extenders, Integrated Digital Televisions
(iDTVs), Advertising using Interactive Television, Targeted
Advertising, Set–top Boxes, Web TV, IPTV (Internet Protocol
Television), Internet TV and A brief look at the future of Interactive
TV. The
hundreds
of other subtopics defined and discussed are listed here.
The Electronic Account Executive
Utilization Cost-benefit Analysis Questionnaire is
included.
Students get
unlimited access to the password-protected website at www.itvclasses.com
where hundreds of dollars worth of free programs, ebooks and webpages
are provided. For
more information click here.
This
online class/education guide is easy to understand. It
provides dozens of paragraphs of special information, in addition to
its roughly 400 learning
points,
215 multiple
choice or true/false questions,
numerous online demonstrations and relevant online video
clips. These
215 questions are either
multiple choice, true/false or yes/no. Your
grade is based only on your answers to the 215 multiple
choice or true/false questions,
not the
learning points. It's
comprised of Lesson
Module
#1 through Lesson Module #6.
After
successfully answering the questions in the guide, an optional online
diploma is provided. ( Example.)
How
long it
takes you to finish very much depends on how
much you want to learn. That can't be emphasized enough. As it's
introductory by nature, it's not technically oriented so it's
easier
to understand.
It's recommended that
you spend 15 or more hours reading the information and hyperlinks
provided in the guide but if you're in a hurry it can be completed in
a couple of hours.
The 6 lesson
modules, which are written in
Microsoft Word, are sent to
students
via email.
Using their computer, students read the learning points, answer the
questions and then send their
work back via email to the class instructor for grading. See a sample
lesson.
These publications have been
used for
research by the Interactive Television Institute. Copy and paste their titles in Google Books or Amazon.com for more information.
