Procedures: The investigator first conducted a survey audio-visual media at Ubon Teachers' College, and interviewed instructors of the Department of Educational Technology and the heads of other departments. The questionnaire was designed to obtain facts and opinions on audio-visual usage from instructors and student teachers. Finally, the project to establish the Educational Media Center at Ubon Teachers College was proposed. Conclusions 1. There were many audio-visual aids in the college but widely dispersed in many departments. 2. Most instructors and student teachers agreed with the establishment of an Educational Media Center under the supervision of the college rector. 3. The main problem encountered by instructors was a lack of specific audio-visual aids that could be used in conjunction with the lessons. 4. Many instructors and student teachers did not have sufficient knowledge about educational media and they expressed their desire to have in-service training in this area. Recommendations: 1. The committee should be set up so as to consider the project thoroughly and to set the plan an policy in advance. 2. The instructors, student teachers and community should get the advantage from this project as much as they can. 3. The budget should be supported by the high rank officials.
