Two self‐study media presentations, booklet‐tape and videotape recording (two formats) were evaluated in order to determine the relative cost‐effectiveness of the presentations. Three topics from an elementary electronics theory course were prepared in three different versions, and relevant costs were calculated. The results of the study indicated that the differences in mean scores for all comparisons did not justify the greatly increased costs associated with videotape recording.
