Planning for the twenty-first century: The California State University

San Jose State University School of Library and Information Science and the Office of the Chancellor in cooperation with industry partners designed and implemented a broadband network prototype to explore leveraging human and instructional resources among the 22 campuses of the California State University. With its current OC-3 capacity, the prototype network is capable of supporting near-broadcast quality two-way interactive video with simultaneous access to multi- and hypermedia resources across the network. Faculty and student collaborative work is facilitated by desktop video teleconferencing from faculty offices and student computer labs.
