Only stations with existing network connectivity from one of their cable head-ends to a local CalREN site will be able to participate. CalREN sites include California Community Colleges, California State Universities, K-12 County Offices of Education and University of California campuses, as well as a number of independent universities. Through these connections, stations can enhance statewide distance education by working together with CSU Dominguez Hills to pass along live, interactive educational content to viewers throughout their broadcast areas. The first semester of CSU Dominguez Hills' educational programming will begin Saturday, August 25, 2007, and the courses will be broadcast live from the CSUDH television studio. CSUDH is the home of the largest distance learning program in the California State University system. The courses will also be broadcast on DHTV, the university's television programming and broadcast service. DHTV has earned worldwide recognition for the quality of its productions and a commitment to live, interactive television programming. Via CalREN, CSUDH will make more than 20 hours per week of CSUDH live courses available throughout the state. The schedule will include two teacher education courses on Saturday and Sunday mornings and courses of general interest such as Jazz in the Modern Era on Tuesday nights, Election 2008 on Saturday afternoons and Gardens of California on Sunday afternoons. During each broadcast, viewers are encouraged to call a toll-free number and participate in the class with their questions and comments. In addition, there will be three courses from the CSUDH Bachelor of Science in Applied Studies Degree Completion Program. Recent research has determined that millions of Californians who attended community colleges and have completed the first two years of college now seek a four-year degree to advance their career. A detailed schedule of DHTV programming can be found at http://dhtv.csudh.edu. More information about the CSUDH's Center for Mediated Instruction and Distance Learning and academic program opportunities can be found at http://dominguezonline.csudh.edu. For detailed information about this project and how to participate in it, please contact Van Bridgeman, Assistant Director and Senior Producer at DHTV at 310-243-2675 or vbridgeman at csudh.edu. CSU Dominguez Hills' educational television programming is among the many wonderful programs being made available throughout California via the California Research & Education Network (CalREN), to which the vast majority of the state's K-20 educational institutions are connected. CalREN is owned, operated, deployed, and maintained by CENIC. To learn more about CENIC and CalREN, visit www.cenic.org. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
