Distance Education Projects
A Statewide Distance Education Plan - The Iowa Communications Network (ICN)

This project involved the development of a comprehensive distance education strategic plan for the state of Iowa. Based on this plan, the state of Iowa now has a sophisticated 3000-mile fiber optics network for distance learning. Associates participated in committees that oversaw the strategic planning, design, and development of this network including the construction of high technology distance education classrooms in schools, libraries, universities, and government offices. The ICN was funded using over $400 million in public funds.

Implementing Distance Education on a Statewide Basis - The Iowa Distance Education Alliance

This project provided distance educators with tools and techniques for distance learning. Associates wrote proposals for grant money to effectively utilize the Iowa Communications Network (ICN). The Iowa Communications Network is Iowa's fiber optics network with over 600 high technology classrooms connected to a fiber optics network. Associates participated in the planning of the development of this network, and were instrumental in obtaining over $16 million in U.S. Department of Education grants to expand the network, construct classrooms, train educators, and conduct research and evaluation. Associates were responsible for managing approximately $2 million during the period 1994 to 1998, including teacher training, project evaluation, and course development for distance education.

Specific activities included:
-Grant Writing and Grant Administration
-Strategic Planning for Distance Education
-Fiscal Planning for Telecommunications and Distance Education
-Administration of Distance Education Enterprises
-Development of Management Plans for Distance Education and Instructional Technology
-Development and Implementation of Formative and Summative Evaluation
-Consulting with Schools, Colleges, and Agencies to Develop Distance Education Strategies

The Iowa/US WEST Teacher Technology Project prepared educators to use telecommunications technologies, and to develop courseware for teaching distant learners.

Cost Effectiveness of Distance Education Systems
This project evaluated various technologies for distance education to determine the relative cost effectiveness of each. This project, coordinated and managed by associates, developed a profile of various telecommunications technologies including satellite, microwave, compressed video, and fiber optics in order to determine the relative costs and comparative effectiveness of each. This project also developed a plan for, and costs of, distance education classrooms.

Distance Education in Zimbabwe
This project assisted faculty and staff from the University of Zimbabwe, Harare, Zimbabwe in using distance education strategies. Associates participated in training and development for educators affiliated with the University of Zimbabwe who were involved in distance education. Associates worked in Zimbabwe to assist faculty and staff from the University who were planning to use distance education.

Higher Institute for Agricultural Cooperation (HIAC) - Distance Education and Technology Utilization in Egypt

This project was to develop strategic plans for technology use, including distance education. Associates worked with faculty and staff from the HIAC, an institution of higher education in Cairo, Egypt. A master plan for technology and distance education was developed.

Technology Projects
Surface Warfare Officers School (SWOS - U.S. Navy) - Technical Assistance for the U.S. Navy

This was a project funded by Oak Ridge Associated Universities and the U.S. Department of Energy. It included strategic planning for the construction and utilization of high technology classrooms for the SWOS located in Newport, RI. This project required the development of:
-A master strategic plan for technology,
-procurement plans,
-purchasing arrangements,
-construction strategies for the transformation of existing classrooms into high technology classrooms using various instructional media, and
-training activities for effective classroom utilization.

The planning, development, construction, and utilization process was managed by associates for the U.S. Navy on location in Newport, RI.

The DaVinci Project - Interactive Multimedia for Art and Chemistry

Associates secured funding from the US WEST Foundation for the preparation of www-based interactive instruction dealing with art and chemistry. This $300,000+ project was created, managed, implemented, and evaluated from start to finish. Sophisticated technologies were used and creative interactive instructional media were produced for learning about the relationship between art and chemistry.

Iowa Chemistry Education Alliance

Associates participated in the development and completion of a distance education project for teaching high school chemistry. This project required collaboration between science teachers who developed modules for the teaching of chemistry in a sharing partnership using a fiber optics and the www.

IowaAccess - WWW-based training for Government Employees

Associates conducted formative and summative evaluation of a program that developed and delivered instruction to government employees about use of the WWW.
