Delivery of Electronics Technology Curriculum and Experiences to Underserved Rural High School Students in Western South Dakota Using an Innovative Distance Learning Model

黑山州立大学(BHSU)和西达科他州技术学院(WDTI)创建了一个包括学区和工业合作伙伴在内的财团，以开发、提供、完善和评估基于网络的远程教育模式，以提供基本的电子课程。该项目旨在改善六个学区的三年级和四年级学生的技术指导、经验和机会。该项目的主要内容包括：现场教师培训课程内容和授课；在参与项目的高中实施远程教育；由教师和行业合作伙伴为参与者提供专业和技术支持；由行业合作伙伴为学生提供技术经验；由所有合作伙伴对该项目进行评估；在地方、州和国家各级传播关于该项目的信息；和/或在BHSU或WDTI为拟议的中学课程工作提供学分。

Black Hills State University (BHSU) and Western Dakota Technical Institute (WDTI) have created a consortium including school districts and industrial partners to develop, deliver, refine and evaluate a network-based distance education model for the delivery of basic electronics curriculum. This project is designed to improve technology instruction, experiences and opportunities for juniors and seniors in six school districts. Key elements of the project include on-site teacher training course content and delivery; the implementation of distance education at participating high schools; professional and technical support for participants provided by faculty and industrial partners; technical experiences for students provided by industrial partners, evaluation of the program by all partners; dissemination about the project at the local, state and national levels; and/or credit at BHSU or WDTI for the proposed secondary course work.
