The KEY Program: A University/School Partnership.
Foote, Victoria M.; And Others
This paper describes the KEY Program as a successful cooperative effort of the Rochester (New York) Institute of Technology (RIT) and the Livingston-Steuben-Wyoming Board of Cooperative Educational Services (LSW-BOCES). The KEY Program's primary mission is to expand course offerings to high school students in the Rochester area through distance delivery systems. LSW-BOCES worked with RIT and several high schools to coordinate the distance learning programs. The first courses offered through the KEY Program were taught at the first-year college level using videotapes, live two-way audioconferences, computer conferencing, electronic mail, study guides, texts, and other instructional materials. The program offered a pilot social studies course and later expanded to offer other courses in English and mathematics. Student and teacher responses to the pilot course were favorable. The students found videotapes to be the least helpful part of the course, but teachers felt the videotapes provided an important addition to the students' learning. Beginning in fall 1988, PC-based telewriter systems are to be made available to enhance the faculty lectures. A close working relationship among schools, RIT, and LSW-BOCES was found to be essential to the KEY Program's success. (TES)
