EDUCATION LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS (1993-1997)
DESCRIPTION:
Educational and government institutions in Hawaii and throughout the
United States have made significant public investments to develop
telecommunication and information networks to facilitate public service
objectives. One problem that exists is that many of the networks are
developed as single-purpose networks with little sharing of infrastructure,
resources, and programs. The DELTA-Hawaii network is a project that
interconnects existing education (Hawaii Interactive Television System
(HITS), SkyBridge), economic development (Hawaii Telecommunications
and Information Resource Center/HTIRC), and the international public
service PEACESAT networks. When completed, the network will enable
sharing of resources and extend services throughout Hawaii and the
Pacific Islands Region. The project interconnects networks that were
originally funded in part through federal funds.
FUNDING
ORGANIZATIONS: Public Telecommunications Facilities Program/National
Telecommunications and Information Administration; State of Hawaii
Department of Budget and Finance; High Technology Development Corporation;
and the University of Hawaii (Maui Community College, UH-Hilo, UH-ITS,
and Social Science Research Institute).
| PROJECT
ORGANIZATION: The Principal Investigators of the project are
Norman Okamura and Lori Mukaida. Ms. Christina Higa is the
Program Manager and currently serves as the Acting Director. |
