Belcourt 95-26134 This project is designed to achieve educational purposes through video and data interconnections. The educational purposes involve the development of new networking and user service training programs for both video and data networks, improvement of the teaching of SMET subjects in K-12 and postsecondary institutions that are controlled by Indians, and the improvement of education for American Indians in the health fields. The general concept of this application is to maximize the impact that already existing SMET coursework and programs have. This will be done by distributing the responsibility for offering programs throughout the AlHEC's video and data networks. Because the 29 institutions that compose the American Indian Higher Education Consortium are widespread, generally small, and chronically underfunded, there has always been an emphasis on sharing resources. There is wide variance among the institutions with regard to levels of SMET curriculum and the level of networking currently available. This interest in sharing through networking led to the formation of the AIHEC telecommunication project five years ago, in order to make use of technology to make limited resources go further. Since that time, there has also been a good deal of interest in the establishment of computer interconnectivity. Approximately 1/2 of the colleges have such connectivity. This project calls for funding for one year for developing programs that provide both short-term training in such things as using the Internet, using Interactive video, and technical support for networks. In the technology area, it also calls for the development of Associate's degrees in areas that provide user support. A second area of development in this first year is the Health Services area. AIHEC will identify areas of greatest need with the Indian Health Service and develop distributed programs in these areas. The colleges need certain things to make these operations possible. First, it needs faculty with u pgraded academic preparation in SMET areas and it needs students who are better prepared. Thus, there is a component that provides for distributed graduate education for both college and K-12 teachers. On the other side of infrastructure, many colleges do not have connectivity yet. For this reason, all the Tribal Colleges in Montana will be linked with a system that they have designed to provide maximum capability for uperading. Finally, the AIHEC Telecommunications Network will be utilized by providing uplinks to satellites at three sites, one each in Minnesota, Montana, and North Dakota. These uplinks will be capable of feeding instruction to all 29 colleges; 7 colleges will be able to originate programming.

电话：95-26134 该项目旨在通过视频和数据互连实现教育目的。教育目的包括为视频和数据网络开发新的联网和用户服务培训方案，改善由印第安人控制的K-12和中学后教育机构中的中小企业教育和培训科目的教学，以及改善美洲印第安人在卫生领域的教育。这个应用程序的总体概念是最大限度地发挥现有的SMET课程和计划的影响。这将通过在AlHEC的视频和数据网络中分配提供节目的责任来实现。 由于组成美国印第安人高等教育联盟的29所机构分布广泛，规模一般较小，而且长期资金不足，因此一直强调资源共享。各院校在中小企业培训课程的水平和现有网络的水平方面存在很大差异。这种通过网络共享的兴趣导致了五年前AIHEC电信项目的形成，以便利用技术使有限的资源发挥更大的作用。从那时起，人们对建立计算机互连性也产生了很大的兴趣。大约1/2的大学有这样的连接。 该项目要求提供一年的资金，用于开发提供使用互联网、使用交互式视频等短期培训和网络技术支持的方案。在技术领域，它还要求在提供用户支持的领域发展副学士学位。第一年的第二个发展领域是卫生服务领域。AIHEC将与印度卫生服务部门一起确定最需要的领域，并在这些领域制定分布式方案。 学院需要某些东西来使这些操作成为可能。首先，它需要在SMET领域有更好的学术准备的教师，它需要有更好准备的学生。因此，有一个组件，为大学和K-12教师提供分布式研究生教育。在基础设施的另一边，许多大学还没有连接。出于这个原因，蒙大拿州的所有部落学院都将与他们设计的一个系统相连，以提供最大的学习能力。最后，AIHEC电信网络将通过提供到三个站点的卫星的上行链路来加以利用，明尼苏达州、蒙大拿州和北达科他州各一个站点。这些上行链路将能够为所有29所学院提供教学; 7所学院将能够启动编程。
