  1. MAGPI and Internet2 in the K20 Environment Greg Palmer, Director Jennifer MacDougall, Apps Coordinator

  2. What is Internet2? • Consortium led by over 190 universities working with industry and government • High performance network intended for research into new generation protocols and applications • “Born” in 1996, 34 original participants

  3. Why Internet2? • The Regular or Commodity Internet was not designed for: • Millions of users • Congestion • Multimedia • Real time interaction

  4. High congestion Unpredictibility No prioritization Low speeds High cost to bandwidth (i.e., $ per Mbps) ratio High bandwidth Low latency/jitter Real-time Scalability Multicasting High Performance vs. Commodity Internet Commodity High Performance

  5. Internet2 Applications • Teleimmersion • Virtual Laboratories • Digital Libraries • Distributed Computation • Distributed Instruction/Learning • Digital Video • K20 Initiative

  6. K20 Initiative • Internet2 now welcoming K-12s onto the High Speed Network • New K20 Consortium Established • MAGPI outreach to K-12s and IUs • Bridging K-12 to Higher Ed • Increased opportunities for joint funding

  7. What is MAGPI? • MAGPI is a GigaPoP • Regional GigaPoP or network connector i.e., a network aggregation point • Connects member institutions to regional, national, and international high performance networks

  8. MAGPI is also… • A private network, created for the sole purpose of promoting education and research for its member institutions

  9. MAGPI Members • Current Subscribers • Chester County IU • Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia • Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals • Lehigh University • Princeton University • Univ. of Pennsylvania

  10. Members Coming Soon • University of Delaware • Temple University/Hospital • Thomas Jefferson University/Hospital • Fox Chase Cancer Center • Villanova

  11. Five County Initiative • Chester County IU already connected • International Virtual Panel • TLCF Project • and more to come! • Delaware • Bucks • Montgomery • Philadelphia • E-rateable

  12. MAGPI Growth Pattern NY J&J Pharm’s 21 Princeton University NJ 15 13 24 12 DE Univ of Delaware W. Virginia

  13. MAGPI/Internet2Applications • Interactive High Speed Videoconferencing(Regional, National and Intl.) • Video on Demand and Digital Libraries • National/International Virtual Tours • Remote Instrumentation (Lehigh’s Electron Microscope) • AP Type University Coursework • Collaborative Programs with Higher-Ed • Continuing Education

  14. MAGPI as an Application Sharing Point: Information • Simplifying Communications Issues • What regional initiatives are in progress? • What opportunities exist for collaboration? “IU in Southeastern PA looking for native Chinese language speakers to exchange language and culture”

  15. MAGPI as an Application Sharing Point: Information • A national research clearinghouse already exists: http://dast.nlanr.net/clearinghouse/ • There appears to be a strong need to provide this same type of service on a local level. • Share/showcase regional MAGPI member projects and initiatives to national and international community.

  16. MAGPI as an Application Sharing Point: Resources • Effective Utilization of Scarce Resources • Remote Instrumentation • Curriculum • Faculty • Technologists • Digital Video Archive

  17. MAGPI as an Application Sharing Point: Funding • Most Funding Agencies Prefer Collaborative Research • Greater Distribution of Dollars • Better Use of Sponsored Infrastructure • “Two Heads are Better Than One!” • Sponsored Websites and Info Sharing that Heighten Awareness of Funding Opportunities

  18. MAGPI as Service Providers and Enablers • Helping to Make Things Happen • Network Design and Consulting • Shared Academic Resources • Video Libraries • Satellite Links • Funding and Support • National & International links through Internet2

  19. MAGPI as a Community Resource • Continuing Education, Lifelong Learning • Workforce Development • In Partnership with PBS stations • In the Workplace • Shared Infrastructure • Schools • Local, State Governments • Libraries

  20. MAGPI as the Bridge Between K-12 & Higher Ed • Higher Education Wants: • Student Awareness of Their Institution • A Market for Academic Content • Field Research for Education • K-12 Wants: • Best Possible Student Education • Continuing Education for Teachers, Staff • Improved State/National Test Scores • Technology Infusion

  21. CCIU/MAGPI Virtual Panel Discussion No Longer a “Once in a Lifetime Opportunity”

  22. CCIU/MAGPI Virtual Panel Discussion • Project Example: Virtual Panel Discussion • Coping With Stress and Education • 4 Panelists, experts in their fields • An audience of teachers, psychologists, and administrators • Interactive, H.323 Videoconferencing • Digitally Captured, Streaming, DVD formats for review and distribution

  25. CCIU World Tour

  26. Language and Culture • Students in US talking and learning with students in Chile • Using IP Based Video and H.323 • Learning foreign language through cultural exchange and problem based experiential learning • Opens literally a “world” of opportunity

  27. Other Projects in Progress • Chester County World Tour • Language and Cultural Exchange • Math and Science Professional Development for Teachers using Interactive High Speed Video • Health Sciences Career Symposium • Higher Ed AP Coursework / Summer Sessions over High Speed Video • ASL Collaboration with Gallaudet Univ.

  28. Conclusion • Regional, National, and International Infrastructure • Existing Applications and Content • Collaborative Focus • Cost-effective

  29. Our Goal… To enable your educational mission!
