This past year has been an exciting
time of rapid change. The Alliance for Higher
Education is now located at 2602 Rutford Avenue in
Richardson on the campus of The University of Texas at
Dallas campus. Our technological capabilities are the
best of what is available worldwide.
If you have received our Spring
2001 Course Catalog, you will see a change in terms of
credit, noncredit, and certification courses and
programs. This semester credit courses are offered by
Southern Methodist University, Texas Tech University,
and the University of North Texas.
If you are interested in upgrading
your work skills, either in the technology arena or in
management and professional development, now you can
do this at your computer desktop. The Alliance for
Higher Education has partnered with several content
providers which have high quality courseware designed
for self-paced or guided learning on-line, with
CD-ROMs or videotapes. These courses are listed in our
catalog as well.
Members also have access to the
classrooms, meeting rooms, and origination and
videotaping facilities in the Alliance’s new
building. Our state-of-the-art distance learning
center also includes a technology platform
(television, Internet, fiber connections, streaming
video, etc.) that can quickly and directly access
worldwide corporate and academic locations.
There is also a new player in the high performance
internetworking arena called Internet2.
The Alliance for Higher Education is in the center of
this flurry of activity with the launch of the
Alliance Internet2 GigaPoP. Internet2 will support new
distance education activities and collaborative
research.
