HERN: Hawaii Education and Research Network

小行星9454822 夏威夷教育和研究网络（HRN）要求在三年内拨款400万美元，用于在全州范围内部署网络基础设施，以支持夏威夷的所有公共教育。 它通过现有的伙伴关系：夏威夷教育网络联盟的力量来做到这一点。 联合会的创始成员是： 夏威夷州教育部（DOE），提供所有K-12，成人， 和社区学习服务; 夏威夷大学系统（UH），提供所有公立高等教育 包括社区学院和研究机构在内的方案; 东西方中心（EWC），联邦政府赞助的非营利研究和研究生 教育学院。 该联盟的目的是发展和促进电信技术在夏威夷教育和研究中的使用。 它代表了夏威夷的所有公共教育和研究，并在信息技术的合作应用方面有着良好的记录，包括远程教育、网站许可和互联网的部署。 拟议的技术网络基础设施包括将互联网接入扩大到夏威夷的每一所公立学校和校园，主要是通过现有资源和与夏威夷监管环境授权的有线电视公司建立独特的伙伴关系。 该基础设施还包括一个分布式的全州互联网服务器结构，一个全州网络信息中心和一个网络操作中心，由夏威夷大学管理，以及一个针对初中和高中教师的培训计划。 部署这一网络的目的是支持教育改革。 在初中和高中，我们将利用网络改革学校日。 通过建立在现有的学校社区为基础的管理计划，学校将有选择和机会，从传统的基于班级的时间表，以茶为导向，多学科的项目为基础的计划。 在高等教育方面，该州的社区学院将利用该网络合作开发基于网络的工程预科课程，该课程将在全州范围内提供给以前无法获得此类课程的学生。 在这两种情况下，网络基础设施将促进能源部和卫生部内正在进行的愿景和计划。 通过建立在正在进行的方案和现有的基础设施上，提议者有一个重要的成本分摊部分。 在项目的过程中，我们将解决以下类型的研究问题： 什么类型的组织和管理结构最能支持 全国教育网络的部署和运作？ 编织在一起将面临哪些技术和管理问题 有线电视公司提供的有线电视以太网网络 州？ 哪组网络接口和过滤器将支持适当的教育 在整个州的各个层面都能接入互联网 如何向教育界提供有效的培训 成千上万的人吗 如何支持协作式课程开发和交付， 互联网？

9454822 Bossert The Hawaii Education and Research Network (HERN) requests $4 million over three years for the statewide deployment of networking infrastructure to support all public education in Hawaii. It does so through the strength of an existing partnership: the Hawaii Educational Networking Consortium. Founding members of the Consortium are: Hawaii State Department of Education (DOE), which provides all K-12, adult, and community-based learning services; University of Hawaii system (UH), which provides all public higher education programs including community colleges and research institutes, and; East-West Center (EWC), a Federally sponsored non-profit research and graduate education institute. The Consortium's purpose is to develop and promote the use of telecommunications technology in education and research in Hawaii. It represents all public education and research in Hawaii, and has a proven track record in collaborative applications of information technology including distance education, site licensing, and the deployment of the Internet. The technical networking infrastructure proposed includes the expansion of Internet access to every public school and campus in Hawaii, largely through existing resources and a unique partnership with the cable companies mandated through Hawaii's regulatory environment. The infrastructure also includes a distributed statewide Internet server architecture, a statewide Network Information Center and a Network Operations Center, to be managed by the University of Hawaii, and a training program for teachers in the middle and high schools. The goal of deploying this network is to support educational reform. In the middle and high schools, we will use the network to reform the school day. By building on the existing School Community Based Management program, schools will have the option and opportunity to move from a traditional class based schedule to a tea m oriented, multidisciplinary project based program. In higher education, the State's community colleges will use the network to collaboratively develop a network-based curriculum in pre-engineering that will be delivered statewide to students who have previously had no access to such courses. In both cases, the network infrastructure will facilitate ongoing visions and programs within the DOE and UH. By building on ongoing programs and the existing infrastructure there is a significant cost-sharing component by the proposers. In the course of Project HERN we will address the following types of research questions: What types of organizational and management structures best support the deployment and operation of a statewide educational network? What technological and management issues will be faced in knitting together Ethernet-over-CATV networks provided by cable TV companies throughout the state? What set of network interfaces and filters will support appropriate educational access to the Internet at all levels across an entire state? How can effective training be provided to an educational community numbering in the hundreds of thousands? How can collaborative curriculum development and delivery be supported over the Internet?
