It is a source of great prestige and good publicity for the institution, prestige that WLU is in great need of alter its 37th placing in the Machete survey of universities. The WLU Administration has decided to shut down its televideo course production facility just " demand is growing for distance education and video-based distance education courses. The WLU Administration has cited increased production costs and decreased revenues " reasons for shutting down Telecollege Productions. In November 1990, the eight Wilfrid Laurier Universi. ty employees who work at Telecollege submitted to the WLU Administration extensive lists of external. ly-caused, axsrint1ating problems pertaining to the production of 1'trleeolleie courses, and suggested constructive solutions to those problems. We also warned the WLU Administration in November and December 1990 and in July 1991 of what were, in our opinion, serious problems in the management of Telecollege Productions and of the resulting inefrr ciencies and increased costs for the University.

What facilitates indepen- dent learning more than videohased courses? In addition, Teleeollege Productions’ facilities could be used for the brr?adeastsuality video taping of seminars, discussions, presentations, lectures, and performances. These tapes would, in many cases. be readily marketable and would certainly assist independent learning. We think that the decision to close Telecollege Productions is short-sighted and misguided.
