UPFRONT - A PORTAL IDEA! The term "portal" has become a buzz word these days.
But the IDEAS portal was a vision before portals were talked about. IDEAS is a one-stop
Web location for the PK-16 education community in Wisconsin. For our subscribers
outside of Wisconsin, think of it as a working model to consider for your state. No need to
reinvent the wheel. John Fischer is open to sharing the process with you. See his contact
information below. Enjoy the article! Rosemary Lehman

FOCUS

IDEAS Portal Web Site: One Online Stop for Wisconsin's PK-16 Education Community
by
John Fischer

With all of the places on the internet for Wisconsin's educators to go, where can we begin our
search for quality resources that are evaluated and selected especially for us by other
Wisconsin educators? The IDEAS Web site at: http://www.IDEAS.Wisconsin.edu is a portal
that provides Wisconsin educators access to high-quality, highly usable, teacher-reviewed
content. The focus is on web-based curricular research and other selected resources. These
resources help state educators use technology to meet the Wisconsin Model Academic
Standards and create the foundation for a statewide knowledge management system. The
IDEAS Web site is currently funded by the TEACH Wisconsin Collaboration Committee,
contracted through UW-Extension and supported through the efforts of numerous
organizations.

IDEAS was created in response to needs expressed by Wisconsin's teachers. What sets
IDEAS apart from other Web sites geared toward teachers is that all of the resources available
on IDEAS are evaluated by Wisconsin educators. Each piece is assessed using a rubric that
rates the resource's format, content and learning processes. In addition to quality, all of the
resources on IDEAS are aligned with the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards in the
appropriate content area(s): language arts, mathematics, science, social studies and
information and technology literacy.

Nathan Trick, online resources specialist for Instructional Communications Systems at
UW-Extension, is the Webmaster for the project. Nathan has been with IDEAS for over
two years and is committed to the development of the IDEAS site and database. The
technology is being updated to support high volumes of user activity in the future.

The IDEAS Web site was launched on August 1, 2001. Since that time, IDEAS has seen
an average of over 2,500 new users and over 60,000 hits each month. Eventually, IDEAS
will be a central cataloging system for resources of all kinds, ranging from lesson plans to
compressed video to professional development resources. There are plans to personalize
the portal for more efficient and friendly user service. Teacher feedback on resources is also
posted for other teachers to view. The project will be promoted and demonstrated
throughout the year at conferences and conventions such as the Wisconsin Education
Association Council, Northwestern Wisconsin Education Association, and the Governor's
Wisconsin Educational Technology Conference.

In order to populate the IDEAS site with worthwhile and proven resources, IDEAS is
recruiting experienced, talented educators from Wisconsin to assist in the gathering of
resources. These educators will focus on resources in one core area: language arts,
science, social studies or math. The teams will be made up of educators representing
each of these levels in the four areas: elementary, middle school, high school and
institutions of higher education. If you are interested in working with IDEAS or finding
out more about it, contact IDEAS project director John Fischer at: 608-262-3340 or visit
the Web site at: http://www.IDEAS.Wisconsin.edu

LINES - October News Highlights

- John Seely Brown, co-author of "The Social Life of Information," argues that online
universities do not provide the social context that makes learning meaningful. Students,
need to argue and discuss, he says. Increasingly social interaction is being integrated into
Internet courses at colleges, businesses and other institutions. Many have substituted a
variety of social elements in their online classes like eMail, chat rooms, and threaded
discussion boards, providing more intimacy among students. The additional tools of
streaming media, videoconferencing and other multimedia technologies will help
make eLearning more like a campus. (CIO, 15 Oct 01)

- Three non-profit providers of televised college courses are collaborating to offer a
number of their videos over the Internet. Coast Learning Systems, Dallas TeleLearning
and Intellicom, will offer 31 online video courses beginning January, 2002. The providers
believe that this method will be more convenient than traditional mailing or broadcasting.
Colleges offering credit may also offer the courses through their college Web sites.
(Chronicle of Higher Education Online, 12 Oct 01)

- A two-year improvement plan is expected for Internet2's Abilene backbone, to boost user
support and capacity. While Abilene now uses only about 30% of its capacity, officials
believe the improvements will ready it for future rises in traffic. Internet2's Greg Wood
said that the network needs to be proactive in order to stay ahead of the demand for
capacity. The backbone will be upgraded from 2.4 Gbps to 10 Gbps through the
implementation of new optical devices. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) will be used to
support additional users. Financial support will continue to be provided by Qwest
Communications through October 2006. (Chronicle of Higher Education Online, 2 Oct 01)

MERLOT CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS ONLINE - MERLOT (Multimedia
Educational Resources for Learning and Teaching) is a free and open resource designed
primarily for faculty and students in higher education. The Inaugural International
Conference of MERLOT, hosted by the University of South Florida in Tampa, was held in
Tampa on August 12--15, 2001. Participants included faculty, librarians, instructional
designers, academic administrators, technical support specialists, faculty development
professionals, members of professional organizations, and authors of instructional materials.
The Conference served to showcase the ways in which authors and faculty use MERLOT
learning materials in their classrooms and enable discipline communities to share information
on teaching and learning with web-based materials. Links to the conference presentations are
available at http://taste.merlot.org/conference/program.html For more information about
MERLOT, link to http://www.merlot.org/ (CIT INFOBITS - Oct 01)

ACCESS GRID IS TOOL FOR COLLABORATING ACROSS STATES - The Access
Grid, developed by the National Computational Science Alliance for scientists and their
colleagues, has become a collaborative tool for university students. Using the Access Grid,
students at the Universities of Alaska, Montana and New Mexico can now participate in
an online parallel computing course. The system uses the high-speed data network created
by the Internet2 consortium. The course is coordinated by three professors, using a blend of
videoconferencing and computers, remotely controlled. Each classroom has three
video projections, two showing images from the other university Web sites, and the third
showing a computer display with visual aids. To increase interaction, Don Morton, associate
professor of computer science at the University of Montana, is considering adding a "gossip
session" at the end of each class. Next semester's plans are for Brigham Young University
and the University of Utah to use the Access Grid to run a joint eLearning course. (Chronicle
of Higher Education Online, 19 Oct 01)

EXPANDING LEARNING - On Oct. 23, the Mississippi eUniversity initiative will be
unveiled. Intended to attract adult learners, the eUniversity was designed by members of the
state College Board and the participating campuses. The eUniversity will offer traditional
correspondence courses but will emphasize video interactive classrooms and Internet
learning, said Pam Smith, an assistant commissioner for higher education and a
spokesperson for the College Board. The move to online education should boost statewide
Internet access and motivate adults to learn more computer skills. The courses would cost
significantly less than those for full-time students. This year, about 10,000 students in
Mississippi are enrolled in some form of extended learning. (djournal.com, 16 Oct 01 -
Edupage 19 Oct 01)

eLEARNING MBAs ON THE RISE IN EUROPE - A number of educational
institutions in Europe are offering MBA eLearning programs. The business school at
the University of Navarra in Barcelona (IESE) has integrated eLearning into its Global
Executive MBA. Many electives at the Henley Management College are delivered only
over the Internet. These graduate business studies offer learning across borders and time
zones via the Internet. Henley has added a Web streaming infrastructure made possible
by joose.tv, and recently wired five of its lecture halls with video cameras, according to
Russell Altendorff, director of the Information Systems Division at the school. (London
Times Online, 1 Oct 01)

BIZ/GOV/ED

STANDARD WILL EASE NETWORKING FOR BUSINESS - Questions are raised as
businesses open their applications and databases to customers and suppliers in an attempt to
increase efficiency. The major question is how to ensure that this traffic is from legitimate
sources. DSML could assist in this area. Directory services markup language or DSML is a
new standard that aims to help businesses control traffic by serving as a unifier for a
business's various directories used to run eMail, database, and other systems. Directories let
users download video clips, or prompt an interface to its eMail system. Often businesses
have a variety of directories for various application platforms. DSML is compatible with
XML and sets a standard framework for XML documents to receive and store directory
information. This allows any XML document access across directories and application
platforms. Microsoft, Sun, and Access360 have formed a high-profile alliance to push
DSML solutions. A future alternative, DSML 2.0, will add more functionality, but is more
complex and has been grounded for the time being because of the industry infighting.
(Investor's Business Daily, 23 Oct 01)

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONSIDERS ITS OWN INTERNET - A proposed
network, GovNet, is being considered by the federal government to provide it with
secure communications. Bush's special advisor for cyberspace security, Richard Clarke,
has been appointed to spearhead the project. Clarke is in the process of collecting
information from the US telecom sector. The General Services Administration (GSA)
Web site features a Request for Information (RFI) on the project. According to the
GSA, GovNet will be a private, IP-based voice and data network without commercial
or public links. In addition, it will also be impenetrable to the existing Internet, viruses
and interruptions. GovNet will also be able to support video, in addition to its critical
governmental functions. (InfoWorld.com, 11 Oct 01)

PHOENIX SIGNS CONTENT DEAL WITH AOL - The University of Phoenix,
an adult higher education provider, signed a deal with America Online to provide
educational content to users of AOL, CompuServe and Netscape.com The services
will have access to educational content from 20 degree programs offered by the
school in the areas of business, technology, nursing and education. University of
Phoenix president Laura Palmer Noone, noting the university began offering online
degree programs about the time AOL launched, said the alliance would offer "value
and academic opportunity to the AOL member community both online and on campus"
and provide the university's students a "seamless online education experience." The
University of Phoenix is a subsidiary of the Apollo Learning Group Inc. For more

ORGANIZATIONS CREATING DIGITAL COLLABORATION STRATEGIES -
One of the dialogues that was ripe among the human resource executives from Europe
and Asia at a recent European HR event was the immediate need to create wider Digital
Collaboration Strategies. In light of recent happenings, on both an economic and
political front, many of the HR executives need to dramatically expand the ability of
their workforce to collaborate through technology. While there are pockets of video,
audio and web based conferencing capacity throughout the organization, there are
few companies with enterprise Strategies for leveraging Digital Collaboration.
TechLearn Trends has developed and published a paper on ways to create a Digital
Collaboration Strategy. Additional ideas are welcome. Send to: emasie@masie.com

INTERNATIONAL

CHINA GEARS UP FOR DISTANCE EDUCATION - The sale of an online education
platform to China for 80 million yuan ($9.67 million) is expected to increase distance
education popularity in the country, stated a Hunan University expert. The sale marks the
first multimedia platform to be sold in China since the initiative for distance education began
in 1998. According to the developers, the education platform allows Internet users to access
interactive, multimedia education by combining IT and multimedia systems. (Xinhua News
Agency, 11 Oct 01)

INTERNATIONAL INTERNET BANDWIDTH GROWS BY 174 PERCENT
BETWEEN 2000 AND 2001 - Internet bandwidth, the capacity of the global Internet to
deliver the kind of Web and multimedia information required by online courses, grew by
174 percent during the past year, according to a new study by TeleGeography, Inc., a
Washington, DC research group. Although down from last year's peak growth rate of 382
percent, the study shows that Internet capacity is still expanding despite the global economic
downturn. Regionally, growth was uneven, with Latin America realizing 480 percent
bandwidth expansion as it gained access to two new ultra-high-speed submarine cable
systems. US bandwidth grew by 144.3 percent, with Asia coming next at 129.3 percent,
Europe at 109.8 percent and Africa at 89.6 percent. Although the US still remains the
Internet's main hub, with more than 80 percent of international Internet capacity in Asia,
Africa and South America connected directly to a US city, TeleGeography reports that
the global proliferation of new cable systems is making the world progressively less
dependent on the United States. Read more on the TeleGeography website at:

TECH/TOOLS

IBM ENVISIONS "AUTOMATIC COMPUTING" - IBM researcher, Paul M. Horn, defined
and expanded on the idea of "automatic computing" in a recent paper. An automatic computing
initiative is planned that would fund 50 university research projects and push the development
of a computer that would need minimal human assistance. According to Horn, there is a need
for a solution to computer systems' increasing complexity. He sees the industry stagnating if it
doesn't discover a way to create computers that can perpetually function without human
programming intervention. Although there is not a specific solution at this point, IBM is
working on several areas that are key to automatic computers; intelligence, self-healing computers
and adaptive algorithms. (New York Times, 15 Oct 01)

COMING SOON-WIRELESS ROAMING - Bell Labs, recently released the news that it has
developed a technology that lets wireless phone users roam to virtually any wireless network. The
technology allows 3G phone users to roam to 2G networks and back. It will work independent
of a particular vendor, allowing inter-carrier access to the database or home location register
(HLR). The HLR keeps track of users' accounts and communicates to HLRs of other networks.
In addition, the technology will allow roaming users to easily access such services as voice mail
rather than having to dial complicated codes. (Newsbytes, 9 Oct 01)

TELEPORTATION TECHNOLOGY BEAMS IN - Teleportation has moved from the realm
of science fiction to theoretical possibility thanks to a breakthrough by Eugene Polzik and
colleagues at the University of Aarhus. Polzik's team has induced two samples of several
trillion atoms to influence each other from a distance using the phenomenon of quantum
entanglement. Their experiment follows a 1998 test by University of California researchers to
teleport a beam of light across a laboratory bench. It is hoped that entanglement will facilitate
the creation of incredibly fast quantum computers and a quantum Internet through the ability
of entanglement to make, store and disseminate quantum data. (VNUNet, 28 Sept 01 -

NASBE: EDUCATION LEADERS MUST ACT ON ED TECH - In a report issued last week,
the National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) said an ad hoc education
technology system is developing that threatens to deepen existing education disparities. The
report called on education leaders to undertake wholesale revisions of learning standards, to
bring assessments on-line, and to provide equity and access for all students in order to ensure
expansion of instructional technologies. The report, titled "Any Time, Any Place, Any Path, Any
Pace: Taking the Lead on eLearning Policy," noted that while the estimated $7 billion is spent
each year on eLearning has resulted in successful "islands of innovation," quality varies widely
and poor and minority students are underserved - if they have any access at all. For more
