This presentation will compare the two general methods of instruction, traditional and nontraditional, and add a third style labeled unconventional-nontraditional. The setting for this study was the Jules Undersea Lodge which sits under 30 feet of water in a Florida Keys lagoon.

• Compare and contrast traditional, nontraditional, and unconventional-nontraditional (U-N) methods of instruction. • Identify the Informational Technology involved in U-N instruction delivery. • Demonstrate that IT resources are currently available to successfully provide U-N instructional delivery

This presentation is a result of a study performed on the concept that technology exists to support unconventional teaching presentation. Traditional education involves the instructor and students interacting together at an educational facility. Nontraditional education consists of the instructor developing and teaching online courses at an educational facility with the students in distant locations. Unconventional-nontraditional (U-N) education involves the educator and well as the students to be distant from each other and not always supported at an educational facility. My presentation will present my findings of U-N education presentation conducted in conjunction with Hill College vocational nursing and echocardiography programs. I was located at Jules Undersea Lodge (JUL) which is resting in a Florida Keys lagoon under 30 feet of water. The JUL is an undersea habitat that researchers can spend days in a dry environment. The students, located at Hill College, and the instructor were connected audio-visually by the internet. The students presented PowerPoint presentations on diving-related subjects in the Interactive Television (ITV) room at the Hill College Johnson County Campus while I was living for 48 hours underwater in the undersea habitat. I will discuss the conditions and technology required to live and communicate to the surface for educational purposes to students in the ITV room. During the two days that I was living in the habitat, I was streaming live so that students and coworkers could check-in on my daily routine.
