In this article, we describe a project evaluating the academic effectiveness of 2-way interactive video as a means of delivery for Introductory Psychology from a television studio on a main campus to a remote site. Final grades assessed student achievement, and a short survey assessed their attitudes regarding aspects of course delivery. Performance at the remote site was not significantly different from performance in the same courses on the main campus. Students' attitudes toward the delivery method were generally positive. We also include feedback from the instructors and the studio production staff and recommend that future endeavors of this sort recognize potential constraints with such a delivery system and alleviate them as much as possible.
