Session Abstract How are K-20 learning organizations using Internet2 to manage and deliver their high-quality educational resource collections? The panelists will present successful models and suggest best practices.

Museum Applications of Internet2
The Exploratorium will share experiences in developing media and exhibits for distribution over high performance networks. They will demonstrate and discuss their use of DVD-quality Webcasting, a multi-user music exhibit, and a microscope imaging station. They will also discuss other ways in which the Internet2 participation will enable the Exploratorium to enhance and expand its museum programs.

Internet2 and Informal Science: Connecting K-8 Classrooms with Real Science
The Franklin Institute Science Museum is investigating how informal science institutions can use Internet2 to connect K-8 classroom learning with the real science resources accessible within the Internet2 consortium. They will share the outcomes of the Institute's work with NASA's informal science education office to explore how informal science institutions can use Internet2 to connect K-6 classrooms with NASA's earth and space science education resources. They will also highlight the Institute's development of models for using Internet2 to provide support for teachers of science in grades six, seven, and eight.

Digital Asset Management: Solutions for Campus Collections
ResearchChannel uses the DigitalWell Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) to manage large, collaborative video collections. The same system is in use by other organizations to provide encoding services, simplify management and distribution of high quality dynamic media (audio/video), and provide a solid architecture that scales depending on individual needs. Members of the ResearchChannel and DigitalWell teams will describe the functionality and features of the DAMS content administration interface as it is currently being used by a variety of groups including UWTV, ResearchChannel, and KEXP Radio among others. They will also briefly describe the supporting infrastructure.
