Regional & Global Workshops in Community Computer Networking

这项建议为明智和有效地使用互联网和多媒体提供了解决方案，并通过这些技术的具体应用加以说明。它将为教师、2年和4年大学教职员工、社区领导人以及当地商界的一些人提供暑期讲习班。领先的2年制大学开发的底层网络技术，以及不断发展的新的网络技术使用模式，为国内其他人提供了一个可供参考的模型。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，以及新的两年制网络通信(NetCo)课程。Conet信息亭通过互联网协作连接。NetCo课程将帮助和引导网络设施的建造者。这些工作坊主要面向两年制大学教师，将帮助他们实施制定的两年制课程。这些拟在1996年和1997年举办的讲习班将在1995年以前举办的讲习班的基础上扩大。他们将覆盖明尼苏达州、达科他州东部、爱荷华州北部和威斯康星州西部的地区，使用与奥斯汀学院公园的研讨会提供商相连的双向互动电视。1997年，供应商将努力扩大到国家一级，使讲习班能够与许多其他2年制和4年制大学进行远程通信。

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.
