This exciting new method of teaching allows interaction between students and instructor, despite the miles between them, and permits the use of sophisticated visual aids, such as computer graphics, video modules, and pad camera reproductions. We continue to develop additional ways to use this technology to improve educational opportunities throughout Arizona. We have interactive classrooms at many sites, and additional sites are under construction. The control rooms for these classrooms are configured to be "user transparent," and operators using them can move from one to another with complete ease. NAUNet Telecommunications Network This interactive microwave network allows multiple sites to interconnect with one another. Our first instructional sites, in Flagstaff and Yuma, were completed in These were soon followed by sites in Phoenix (Arizona Department of Education and Supreme Court), Kingman (Mohave Community College), Tempe (Arizona State University), Tucson (University of Arizona), and Holbrook (Northland Pioneer College). Sites on the Navajo and Hopi Reservations have just recently been completed, and we plan additional sites in upcoming years. Our system is fully interactive, and we plan to include T-1 data and telephony services on many circuits. 14 Consultation Service NAU provides facilities and personnel for both onand off-campus workshops, institutes, conferences, and other consultation services to educational, business, community, and social organizations in Arizona.

NAULA and the Satellite System The Northern Arizona University Learning Alliance (NAULA) is a voluntary alliance of more than one hundred satellite downlink, cable, and wireless cable sites across Arizona for the delivery of statewide programs. We support NAULA with a C-band satellite transmission (uplink) system, which we completed in 1990, that can transmit to areas covering the contiguous forty-eight states. In addition, we are developing educational programming to make use of this system to reach individual homes, public schools, community colleges, and other governmental entities. Our system is especially promising for bringing people from diverse areas together for educational conferences and for providing regular courses and other educational programming to people in remote parts of the state. For instance, this system brings foreign language courses to areas where on-site instructors are unavailable.

7 NAU IS also a founding member of IDEANET, a nationwide distance education alliance. Production Facilities The center of NAU's communications system is our broadcast-quality television production studio and postproduction facility along with master control for NAUNet-Flagstaff, our campus-wide NAU cable television system, the "feed" to Flagstaff Cablevision, and a satellite reception facility that has Ku-band and C-band downlink (receive) antennas. Statewide Programs NAUNet currently includes sixteen interconnected instructional sites throughout Arizona, and the network continues to grow. As a result, students In many parts of the state can pursue higher education goals without leaving Iheir home communities.
