Below is a categorized list of recent projects successfully implemented by Evans Associates:

AMERITECH DISTANCE LEARNING PARTNER SCHOOLS

The Ameritech Superschools were established in 1994. The participating partner institutions include: Appleton East High, Appleton West High, Appleton North, Milwaukee Hi Mount Elementary, Milwaukee Allen-Field Elementary, Milwaukee Washington High, Milwaukee John Marshall High, Watertown High, Fort Atkinson High, Waupaca High, and Menasha High. This network utilizes fiber optic two-way full motion video and audio between partner schools, using Grass Valley J-series codecs. The initial grant which created Superschools runs out in 1996, and Ameritech is attempting to convert these schools to its "limited usage" AAVS service.

BADGERDIAL

Badgerdial provides dial-up Internet access for educational institutions and state and local agencies throughout the State. Users pay a small one-time setup fee, a monthly fixed charge of $10, and a fixed, postalized per-minute usage fee (currently $.08). Users access the system from anywhere in the State via a local call. A federal TIIAP II grant of $224,000 helped fund access to rural, low-income schools; this effort is being overseen by the Department Of Public Instruction (DPI). Also, DOA has contributed $518,000 to help ensure the success of the program. BadgerDial intended to "fill in the gaps" for those areas where private-sector Internet Service Providers cannot service the schools. This program was an important component of Governor Thompson's pledge to have 50% of all Wisconsin K-12s connected to Internet by the fall of 1996 and all K-12s connected by the fall of 1997.
