A Community Learns On-Line: Planning Activities to Explore the Use of Interactive Cable for Education

zzma SRI国际的提案是为期一年的计划拨款，在此期间，SRI将与其合作伙伴（Viacom， Castro Valley联合学区和Castro Valley社区）合作，以(1)确定可以通过Viacom的实验交互式电缆系统提供的与教育产品和服务相匹配的需求，以及(2)指定产品开发。该小组将在今后几年进行传播和评价活动。该研究的规划重点将放在使用Viacom的Castro Valley实验电缆系统作为开发使用交互式电缆支持教育改革的模型的试验台，用于开发产品和工具，用于评估系统对家庭和课堂学习的长期影响，以及评估通过交互式电缆提供教育产品和服务的可持续性。SRI建议：确定卡斯特罗谷三组消费者当前和未来的教育和学习需求：学生；学区教师、校长和行政人员；以及家长和其他社区用户。找出维亚康姆系统提供的技术进步与教育和学习需要之间的潜在匹配。通过系统的分析，指定教育产品和服务(1)符合消费者的需求，(2)符合维亚康姆对社区的整体使命，(3)可持续发展。为日后有效推行教育产品和服务制订策略，包括就收费结构问题提出初步建议。这些成果将通过一系列活动来实现，包括需求评估、相关文献审查和为期两天的创新研究研讨会。讲习班期间，大约20名与会者，包括来自卡斯特罗谷学校、社区和维亚康姆公司的人士，将通过一系列讲习班练习，重点关注需求评估所指出的需求，并自由地提出想法。然后，小组将这些想法转化为一组较小的可用的、结构化的想法和概念，并最终减少到少数可行的、有用的教育产品和服务的具体想法。项目产品将包括文献检索结果、创新检索工作手册、创新检索结果、项目活动总结报告和项目第二阶段工作的详细计划。该计划将包括对SRI如何建议探索网络在支持教育改革和创新方面的作用以及评估其对课堂、家庭和社区学习模式的影响的描述。

9454758 Zozma SRI International's proposal is for a 1-year planning grant, during which time SRI will work collaboratively with its partners - Viacom, the Castro Valley Unified School District, and the Castro Valley, community - to (1) identify needs that can be matched to educational products and services that can be delivered through Viacom's experimental interactive cable system, and (2) to specify product development, dissemination, and evaluation activities to be undertaken by the team in subsequent years. The study's planning focus will be on the use of Viacom's Castro Valley experimental cable system as a test bed for developing models for using interactive cable to support education reform, for developing products and tools, for evaluating the long-term impact of the system on home and classroom learning, and for assessing the sustainability of providing educational products and services through interactive cable. SRI proposes: To determine the current and future educational and learning needs of three sets of consumers in Castro Valley: students; school district teachers, principals, and administrators; and parents and other community users. To identify prospective matches between technological advances offered by the Viacom system and those educational and learning needs. Through systematic analyses, to specify educational products and services that (1) match the needs of the consumers, (2) are in accord with Viacom's overall mission to the community, and (3) are sustainable. To develop strategies for effective implementation of educational products and services over time, including preliminary recommendations on rate structure issues. These outcomes will be achieved through a series of activities including a needs assessment, a review of relevant literature, and a 2-day Innovation Search Workshop. During the w orkshop approximately 20 participants - including persons from Castro Valley schools, the community, and Viacom - will, through a series of workshop exercises, focus on the needs indicated by the needs assessment, and freely generate ideas. The set of ideas will then be converted by the group into a smaller set of usable and structured ideas and concepts and finally reduced to a small number of concrete ideas for viable, useful educational products and services. Products from the project will include the results of the literature search, the Innovation Search Workbook, the innovation search results, a summary report of project activities, and a detailed plan for the work to be undertaken in Phase 2 of the project. The plan will include a description on how SRI proposes to explore the role of the network in support of educational reform and innovation and to assess its impacts on classroom, home, and community learning patterns.
