Implications of the Alaska Education Satellite Communications Demonstration for Telecommunications & Education Policymakers. Executive Summary & Supplement.
Practical Concepts, Inc., Washington, DC.
This summary reviews the recommendations of the first annual report, describes the Education Satellite Communications Demonstration, and discusses its impact on Alaskan affairs and institutions. Based on this, it presents educational alternatives and new experiments appropriate to Alaska's needs in three areas: (1) physical implementation of the schools and curriculum, (2) achieving teacher effectiveness, and (3) effective administration processes. The implementation and implications of giving control to the villages, a major concern, is discussed in relation to various recommendations. Finally, operational answers are given to several questions regarding NIE investments in this and in similar satellite demonstrations. A chronological history supporting the impact discussion is included. (DAG)
