One Room School - 2000
25
What Is The One Room School 2000 Project

• The One Room School2000 project integrates
  existing education network infrastructures into a
  cost effective, scalable and expandable network
  that enhances existing network strategies while
  integrating the new Asynchronous Transfer Mode
  (ATM) network architecture. This will allow for
  the integration of multimedia technologies with
  current and emerging communications technologies
  for use in distance education.

Benefits to Students

• The Electronic Campus increases students options
  dramatically. Courses not previously available
  where a student lives or at a time that was
  convenient may in fact now be available. Students
  in the most remote areas will have access to
  courses and programs that have not been readily
  available.
• Students will have the confidence of knowing
  that the courses offered via the Electronic
  Campus are pledged to follow the Principles of
  Good Practice.
• Students will be able to compare courses,
  methods of instruction, how courses are delivered
  and costs.
• The Electronic Campus will provide a central
  point of information and an "orderly electronic
  marketplace amidst the chaos of a booming
  Internet."

28
Benefits to States

• The Electronic Campus will provide the
  opportunity for more education for more citizens.
  The Electronic campus will increase access for
  students to needed information on educational
  courses and programs.
• The Electronic Campus could allow states,
  through cooperative development, to jointly share
  in creating needed courses and programs - the
  "electronic wheel" will not have to be reinvented
  each time.
• Areas previously isolated from the best of
  educational opportunities will no longer be cut
  off because of geography.
• Quality educational programs available in any
  SREB state can be just as accessible to the
  students in all SREB states.
• The Electronic Campus will provide increased
  economic development opportunities for all SREB
  states. Southern Regional Education Board states
  involved are Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
  Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland,
  Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South
  Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West
  Virginia.
