Electronic communication has transformed the way politicians communicate with citizens. Guaranteed high-bandwith networked multimedia communication is being adapted for use in undergraduate education to significantly improve the educational experience in a branch of Political Science that studies political communication. Adaptation of this technology is enabling access by students and faculty to video course materials that are central to this field, and facilitating collaborative learning. This technology is being adapted to a set of three courses, ranging from introductory to advanced. The advanced course is taught jointly with the University of Colorado. Students study political communication through electronic media such as TV. They must be able to view hundreds of political segments and to create their own videos and test them on each other. Because one course involves students at two universities, they need networked communication capabilities to work together. High speed networks on and between campuses provide the infrastructure to allow students to work together and to share experiments and experiences, and new video technology is providing the tools necessary for these kinds of activitiesThis project is building on the robust networks already in place on and between both campuses. The equipment is allowing students to view streaming video independently and together, and to create their own videos for experiments. Students are able to work together easily, regardless of location, and through this joint work are gaining better understanding of political communications techniques. This application of technology, an Internet 2 application, is being thoroughly evaluated and should serve as a model for other disciplines at the University of Iowa and at other institutions.

电子通信改变了政治家与公民沟通的方式。 有保证的高带宽网络多媒体通信正在适应用于本科教育，以显着改善政治学的一个分支，研究政治沟通的教育经验。 这一技术的适应使学生和教师能够访问视频课程材料，这是这个领域的核心，并促进协作学习。 目前正在对这一技术进行调整，使之适用于从入门到高级的一套三门课程。 高级课程与科罗拉多大学联合授课。 学生通过电视等电子媒体学习政治沟通。 他们必须能够观看数百个政治片段，创建自己的视频并相互测试。 因为一门课程涉及两所大学的学生，他们需要网络通信能力来协同工作。 校园内和校园之间的高速网络提供了基础设施，使学生能够共同工作，分享实验和经验，新的视频技术为这些活动提供了必要的工具。 该设备允许学生独立和共同观看流式视频，并创建自己的实验视频。 学生们能够轻松地一起工作，无论位置，并通过这种联合工作获得更好地了解政治沟通技巧。 这项技术的应用，一个互联网2的应用，正在进行彻底的评估，并应作为一个模型，其他学科在爱荷华州和其他机构。
