The sudden introduction of IPTV provided the opportunity to cautiously appraise the role
of technology to support the predominantly print form of distributed learning within the
UPNG OC network.
Towards appraising and evaluating the IPTV this research question was posed; does the
IPTV Live Broad Cast have an effect on the Accounting 2 DE learners’ academic
performances? To answer this question the quasi - experimental design was employed
and the t - test was used to compare the aggregate academic grade scores of the ODL
students using print and those using print and supported by IPTV Live Broad Cast.
An eclectic stance is taken in discussing the use of IPTV and the results obtained, and
conclusions were made with reference to Laurillard’s Conversational Framework (1993)
and the Equivalency Theory (Simonson. 2000). And finally recommendations for policy
makers and academics are offered with respect to the findings of this study with the hope
that relevant actions are taken to improve and establish an economically prudent and
appropriate strategy for effective use of technology to support distance learning courses
among a network of campus and centre sites in Papua New Guinea.// Paper ID 186
