Video animation: increasing the bandwidth of media for education

For the past five year, the Public Information Department of the Federal Reserve Bank has maintained a videotape-oriented economics education program. The audience is primarily junior and senior high school and junior college students. The intent is to provide educational institutions with a clear, unbiased contribution to the understanding of the economic system. A review is presented of previous work, and several current videotapes are discussed. Hardware/software considerations are briefly discussed.<>
