InstructionThe University of IowaThe Iowa Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies Distance Learning Consortium is a collaborative effort supported by Iowa’s three regents’ universities: Iowa State University (ISU), The University of Iowa (UI) and the University of Northern Iowa (UNI). The partnership provides better access to resources through the use of multiple instructional delivery systems, including internet video conferencing and digital audio. Elementary Polish and elementary Czech language instruction began in Fall Semester 2002. These will be followed by intermediate Polish and Czech in 2003-2004, as well as elementary Serbo-Croatian. In addition to this language instruction, ten English language courses will be offered on a variety of cultural, historical, literacy, and political topics in Russian, East European, Eurasian studies. The consortium enjoys the considerable support of a number of sponsoring units: The Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies, and the Program in Russian at the UI; the Department of Modern Languages, and the Russian and East European Studies program at UNI; and the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at ISU.

ResearchThe University of IowaLocated at the University of Iowa is the University Research Consortium for CT Lung Imaging. The center is using H.323 videoconferencing in their CT scanning facility so that industrial and academic partners can seamlessly join an experiment without the need to fly to campus for each study. Funding was provided by the NIH Heart Lung and Blood Institute through a Bioengineering Research grant to advance the field of x-ray CT imaging to detect and follow early lung disease. The consortium consists of investigators from the University of Iowa Departments of Radiology and Biomedical Engineering, the Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins University, Marquette University, the University of Texas/Houston, the University of Auckland and the University of Washington. A primary goal is to build a normal model/atlas of the human and mouse lungs based upon all of the measures we can make with CT scanning and scanning, in the case of the human, 3 decades of age range of the normal male and female to establish the ranges of normality for our various measures. Videoconferencing technology is also used for a multi-institutional training to support a promising graduate student or post doctoral fellow. The trainee will be able to participate in cross institutional lab meetings, journal clubs, etc and will be able to travel between institutions to learn specific techniques without loosing touch with daily lab activities. |

| Using Videoconferencing to Deliver TRAC Center Research Seminars
The overall goal of the TRajectories of Aging and Care (TRAC) Center is to expand the base of nurse scientists collaborating with leading investigators from a variety of disciplines to conduct nurse-directed interdisciplinary studies that examine longitudinal patterns of health, illness, function, and care in later life across diverse care contexts, including home and institution. On the second Mondays of each month research presentations given by TRAC Center Investigators are delivered to 10 member sites using H.323 videoconferencing. Informal discussion follows the presentations. Read more about this activity... |

Services OfferedIndiana State UniversityIndiana State University engages in videoconferencing through several mediums, one being distance education. There are five distance education classrooms across the ISU campus: two in Dreiser Hall, and one each in the College of Technology, College of Education and the College of Nursing. Each classroom is connected via fiber to a central switch that enables each room to be connected to various delivery systems: IHETS satellite, IP videoconferencing codecs, videostreaming, or other classrooms. All classrooms are staffed with a student worker who supports the instructor by operating the technology during the class. Read more about videoconferncing at Indiana State University... Mid-South TeleHealth ConsortiumWe are utilizing over 70 remote sites to deliver healthcare to rural and underserved areas in the Mid-South. All of our sites are part of a completely private video network that comprises three states with 20 sites scheduled for addition this year. Read more about Mid-South TeleHealth Consortium and projects they support... Texas A&M UniversityTTVN is the wide area data and video network for institutions of the Texas A&M University System that provides two-way multi-point digital videoconferencing and data transmission services to the system component institutions. This includes 10 universities, the Health Science Center, The Agriculture and Engineering Extension and Experiment agencies, The Texas Forest Service, and the Texas Transportation Institute. Several affiliate institutions consisting of colleges, universities, and Independent School Districts, are connected to the network due to academic relationships with TAMUS entities.
