  3. Concentration of PovertyDeconcentration of Opportunity • Inner cities and isolated rural areas • Lack of infrastructure in poor neighborhoods • Lack of investment leads to fewer economic opportunities

  4. Concentration of PovertyDeconcentration of Opportunity • Relevant content • Social, cultural and professional activities online

  5. The “Engaged” University • Outreach & Extension Important • Meeting Lifelong Learning Needs • Development of Skilled Workforce • New Partnerships/Relationships with Private Sector • Knowledge Networks -Economic Engine

  6. Broadband Access to All • Rural and Remote Areas • Learning Centers • Historically Black Colleges & Universities • Tribal Colleges • Reaching Out to Overcome Distance

  7. Technology Access Necessary - Not Sufficient • Applications • Learning Modules/Objects • Digital Libraries • Asynchronous/Synchronous Communication • Simulations • Virtual Reality • Teleimmersion

  8. New Teaching and Learning Models • Four generations • Correspondence study • Multi-media with print • Online learning • Internet2 applications

  9. New Research Models: Beyond Comparative Studies • No significant difference • Instructional design and operational environment • Media attribute theory

  10. Delivery System Features Medium Attribute Instructional Potential Bandwidth One-way/ Two-way Synchronous/ Asynchronous Interface Realism Interactivity/ Feedback Immediacy of interaction Branching Concrete vs. Abstract symbols Complex vs. Simple visuals Overt/Covert response Active engagement Adaptation to learners Pacing Responsiveness Learner Control Navigation Attribute Analysis (Smith & Dillion 1999)

  11. Blurring Research/Education • Collaboratories/Collaborative Worktools • Grand/Global Experiments • Participatory Research • Modeling • Instruments • New Creative Conceptualizations

  12. Advanced Internet Satellite Extension Project • 3 year, NSF • $4 million • Partnership • ADEC, Internet 2 Universities, smaller and minority serving institutions, rural and remote learners • Tachyon.Network • CAIDA, NLANR

  13. Project Goals • Explore and Evaluate: • satellite technology to deliver Internet to underserved audiences; and • deployment and integration of distance education applications.

  14. Research objectives include: • “pretty good Internet?” • requirements for satellite-based IP network • QOS issues per last mile • network performance measurements • teaching and learning applications • business model
