Series T, Telecourses
Series T, University of Michigan Telecourses broadcast on the original Television Hour, 1950/51-1953/54. The "telecourses" (a term coined by the Television Center) as 2- minute, for-credit classes broadcast from the WWJ studio in Detroit. IN the fall of 1952 the Telecourse was expanded to a half- hour format, but university credit was no longer offered. It was not until 1954 that the telecourses were recorded on kinescope film. Only a portion of the recorded telecourses have survived, in some cases only a single segment of a program. A selection of the films were digitized in 2009.
