SMPTE Calls A-V Design Conference NEW YORK — A conference of experts in audio-visual education has called for a "systems," or integrated, approach to the design and use of A-V devices. Their report, recently put in final form by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers ! SMPTE ) under contract with the U. S. Office of Education, notes that because of the "piecemeal" evolution of today's audio-visual devices, schools have not been able to make the effective use of A-V techniques that the state of the art permits. The 240-page report, entitled "Designing New Apparatus for Learning," grew out of a three-day conference held at Princeton, N. J., in 1961. Findings of the conference were outlined by the SMPTE project director, John Flory of Eastman Kodak Co., in Oct. at the Society's 94th Technical Conference, held in Boston. The conferees saw a number of reasons why the audio-visual movement has encountered resistance. Among these factors are economics, ignorance of A-V techniques and possibilities, inefficient equipment and "a print-oriented . . . tradition" in instruction. "For many years," they reported, "some teachers have been combining America's headquarters lor all theatre equipment supplies •N.TS National THEATRE SUPPLY COMPANY 14 different kinds of materials — films, filmstrips, still pictures, models, etc. — to realize their teaching goals. These are instructional systems at the simplest level. . . . Not only do we need to develop packages of interrelated instructional materials . . . we need also to analyze the entire educational process in an effort to made it operate at an optimum level." The conferees suggested that the recent success of language laboratories lies in the fact that they are set up not as isolated devices, but rather as "total configurations of equipment and materials to meet certain aims." This, they suggested, is the fundamental purpose of any system. iP Local 306 Plays Santa BROOKLYN, N.
