Each device contains a book which describes the use of device and some important information like the dangerous condition and the good way to use the device .Also; it includes the website for additional information and any help


Cost

·        What is the cost structure of each technology?
It is cost approximately from 50 R.O to 1000 R.O and more. It depends on the quality of the TV.

It may cost them 100 R.O




Teaching and Learning

Sometimes the broadcasting be late due to the absent of the tutor



  
 

Novelty

·        How new is the technology?
It is not new but it is developing over the time .the last version of it was plasma screen. But it newer then textbooks.
·        What are its technical capabilities?

Speed

·        How quickly can courses be created and distributed with this technology?
Very quickly speed can deliver the information to the learner .When the program is broadcast it can reach learner in any where he or she just need to have TV
·        How quickly can materials be changed?
My instructors can’t control whatever the TV broadcasts but they may will be able to choose whatever useful for the learner from different channels and announce the learner to watch  it when they will broadcasts it.

It can deliver the information and reach audience in wide rang but it is not portable. It helps the learner to learn better .It has the ability to connect with other device to enhance its capability.
