Through a special arrangement with Singapore CableVision (SCV), CDTL is currently producing half-hour programmes showcasing NUS' eight faculties for telecast over the EUREKA Channel, Singapore's only educational cable television channel.

Each programme will have a common three-part structure. The first segment covers a faculty in general, the second highlights some aspect of that faculty's work that has educational significance for the general public, and the third "Newsflash" segment informs the public of significant events (past, present or future) at NUS.

The programmes are being televised, one every two months, through 1996 and 1997. Other educational programmes produced by CDTL (and the former CET) and selected from the Centre's archives, are aired during the intervening months.

The EUREKA Channel was officially launched in August 1996. It aims to focus on "the academic aspect" for a growing target audience of upper secondary school students and young adults. As a preview to the launch, CDTL provided a programme on "Preparing for Higher Education" which was telecast in July to coincide with the start of the new academic year.

In September, the Faculty of Architecture and Building programme was aired, followed by that of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences in October. The first in our series of archive programmes was telecast in November and the Faculty of Business Administration programme was featured in December.

SCV has agreed to air each of the programmes six times during the next two years. As SCV's viewership grows, so will exposure to NUS' achievements. This regular series of programme should help increase the University's visibility and interaction with the community at large.
