A two-year project in curriculum and network development undertaken by two two-year colleges -- Minnesota Riverland Technical College (MRTC) and Austin Community College (ACC) -- will involve universities and high schools -- initially Mankato State University (MSU) and Austin High School (AHS). This project focuses on educating builders of information highways and local byways. In other words, the focus is on "conets" -- cooperative networks that link communities and companies regionally as well as within evolving national and global information infrastructures.The last two years of high school and last two years of university baccalaureate degrees (in engineering, information science, etc.) will provide a "2+2+2" context for developing a two-year associate degree in interactive mass media and networking communications. Students will study core general and technical courses and then select options -- tentatively called digicom (electronics), multiware (computers) and intervision (mass media). Practicums will entail student work on development of a "conet" to serve local communities and involve high schools as public access sites, equipped with terminals and kiosks.This two-year project is intended to help set the stage for development of both: 1) a CoNet Center of Excellence, supporting curricula not just within two-year colleges but within "?+2+2+2+?" education extensions; and 2) a Southeastern Minnesota CoNet regional community network, as a potential model, especially for rural regions in the U.S. and globally.

由两所两年制学院--明尼苏达河岸技术学院(MRTC)和奥斯汀社区学院(ACC)--开展的一个为期两年的课程和网络开发项目将涉及大学和高中--最初是曼卡托州立大学(MSU)和奥斯汀高中(AHS)。该项目的重点是教育信息高速公路和地方小路的建设者。换句话说，重点是“CONTS”--连接社区和公司以及在不断发展的国家和全球信息基础设施内的合作网络。高中最后两年和大学学士学位最后两年(工程、信息科学等)。将提供“2+2+2”的环境，以发展两年制的互动大众传媒和网络通讯副学士学位。学生们将学习核心的普通和技术课程，然后选择选项--暂定为Digicom(电子)、多媒体(计算机)和Intervision(大众媒体)。这个为期两年的项目旨在为以下两个方面的发展奠定基础：1)Conet卓越中心，不仅支持两年制大学的课程，而且还支持“？+2+2+2+？”。教育扩展；以及2)明尼苏达州东南部地区社区网络，作为潜在的模式，特别是对美国和全球的农村地区。
