This activity aims at a systemic examination of the educational, technological and financial terrain that extends beyond the present very modest frontier of educational telecommunication activities by schools to over- the-horizon network applications. It aims at affecting NREN planning and experimentation, which should, in turn, produce data on costs, educational benefits and demand that can affect public and private sector investment decisions. It aims too at developing an initial consensus among educators on the role of wideband network applications that goes beyond the technologically and educationally modest experimentation presently visible. Project outcomes include three documents. The principal document of some 50 to 60 pages includes a suite of experimental designs and a summary assessment of their educational potential by educational policy and decision makers. Three designs, more and less educationally radical, technologically advanced and financially expensive are aimed at improving science and mathematics education; and structuring new options for school reform. A shorter secondary document describes educational needs for group software products, information services and educational databases. A final document describes some options for allocating costs and for financing educational use of local and wide-area network applications. Dissemination is planned in both print and conference formats.

这项活动的目的是系统地审查教育、技术和财政领域，从目前学校教育电信活动的有限领域扩展到超视距网络应用。其目的是影响国家可再生能源网的规划和实验，而这反过来又会产生有关成本、教育效益和需求的数据，从而影响公共和私营部门的投资决定。它的目标也是在教育工作者中就宽带网络应用的作用达成初步共识，这种作用超越了目前可见的技术和教育上的适度实验。项目成果包括三个文件。这份约50至60页的主要文件包括一套实验设计和教育政策制定者和决策者对其教育潜力的简要评估。三个设计，或多或少的教育激进，技术先进和财政昂贵的目的是改善科学和数学教育，并为学校改革构建新的选择。一个较短的二级文件描述了集团软件产品，信息服务和教育数据库的教育需求。最终文件描述了分配成本和资助教育使用本地和广域网应用程序的一些选择。计划以印刷和会议两种形式进行传播。
