Regional & Global Workshops in Community Computer Networking

这项建议为明智和有效地利用互联网和多媒体提供了解决办法，并以这些技术的具体应用为例。 它将为教师、2年和4年制大学教师、社区领袖和当地商界的一些人提供暑期讲习班。由领先的2年制学院开发的底层网络技术，以及其使用的不断发展的新范式，为全国其他人提供了一个可以考虑的模型。 这些研讨会的大部分内容将基于最近在明尼苏达州东南部创建社区网络（CoNets）的经验，以及网络通信（NetCo）的新2年课程。 CoNet信息亭通过互联网相互协作。 NetCo课程将帮助和领导网络设施的建设者。这些讲习班，主要针对两年制大学教师，将帮助他们实施制定的两年制课程。 1996年和1997年拟议举办的这些讲习班将在1995年举办的讲习班的基础上加以扩大。 他们将使用连接到奥斯汀学院公园研讨会提供商的双向交互式电视，覆盖明尼苏达州、达科他州东部、北方爱荷华州和威斯康星州西部的地区。1997年，供应商将试图扩大到国家一级，使讲习班能够与许多其他2年和4年制学院进行电信联系。

This proposal offers solutions to the wise and effective use of Internet and multimedia, illustrated by concrete applications of these technologies. It will provide for summer workshops for teachers, 2 and 4 year college faculty, community leaders, and some in the local business community. The underlying networking technologies developed by the lead 2 year college, and the evolving new paradigm for its use provide a model for others in the nation to consider. Most of the content for these workshops will be based on recent experience in creating the Community Networks (CoNets) in Southeastern Minnesota, and a new 2-year curriculum in Networking communicating (NetCo). CoNet kiosks are linked collaboratively via the Internet. The NetCo curriculum will help and lead builders of networking facilities. These workshop, directed at mostly 2-year college faculty, will help them implement the developed 2-year curriculum. These proposed workshops in 1996 and 1997, will be expanded from earlier ones given in 1995. They will cover areas in Minnesota, eastern Dakotas, northern Iowa, and western Wisconsin, using 2-way interactive TV linked to the workshop providers at Austin College Park. In 1997, the providers will attempt to expand to the national level, to allow telecommunication of the workshops to many other 2 and 4 year colleges.
