This project provided access to telecommunication networks and research databases at 13 sites in the Mid-Atlantic region from May 1 to June 4, 1993. The project objectives were to pilot a regionally-developed education database; to provide access to this database and the Internet; to train participants to use telecommunications technology; to collect data on the use of the technology; and to generate recommendations to promote and enhance the use of telecommunications technology. Time-of-day and length of use were tabulated by the carrier and the participants were asked to complete an online survey as they exited the education database. This survey included ratings of the four sections of the database: R&D Products, Successful Practices in Math and Science, an Events Calendar, and a Resource Directory. Interviews were also held with 10 people from the four sites with the highest number of hours, who were asked to respond to questions about the mechanical aspects of using the technology, their experience with Internet, their use and impressions of the education database, and ideas for future directions. The report provides detailed information on the study team and the methodology; the results for each site; summaries of responses to the interviews; and conclusions and recommendations both for developing a telecommunications network and for using telecommunications technology. Five appendices include study data, the exit survey questionnaire, and the interview protocol for the pilot sites. An executive summary is also provided. (JLB)
