The Wayne Communique, WCC, Goldsboro, N. C., Sept. 6, 1971 — Page 3 »••• Wong O'Niell finds tapes prepared for packaged learning program an effective instructional aid.

These programs combining text books, manuals and tapes will allow the student to proceed at his own pace. For example, American History I taught by Mr. Richard Mahaney, Chairman of the Social Studies Depart ment, will consist of three hours of classroom sessions and two hours of taped lec tures. The tapes will be available at all times at the Learning Resource Center to aid the student in taking notes and to permit him to hear the lecture as often as he wishes. He will then refer to the end-of- chapter test in his manual for completion of each unit. The concept of program ming and packaging is not a new one.

Learning Resource Center Supports Instructional Program The LRC will again, during the school year 1971-72, be striving to carry out its main objective — to contribute to the realization of the ob jectives of Wayne Community College by acquiring, organizing, and making available books, periodicals, and other materials needed to support the instructional program of the college and the community’s educational needs. For the first time, beginning with fall quarter, the materials of all three areas of the LRC are catalogued by the Library of Congress classification.
