Educational Access
Mid-Year Report for 2001

August 6, 2001

Introduction

The following report is an overview of the Educational Access (EA) activities for the first six months of the calendar year 2001. It was compiled by the Hawaii Educational Networking Consortium's (HENC) Education Program Manager as a requirement in the Educational Access agreement signed in 1998 by Olelo, Community Television; the Hawaii Educational Networking Consortium; and, the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA).

This report is broken down into four major sections which are identified below:

Section 1.0 - The Channels and their Programming Page 1

Section 2.0 - The 2001 Awards Page 2

Section 3.0 - Funding and Report Summary Page 12

Section 4.0 - Appendices Page 14

Section 1.2 - Other Channel Related Issues

This reports finds that each of the channels have been submitting complete scheduling information for their programming hours to Olelo on a timely basis. This scheduling information is for use in the entities printed matter, publicized materials and website. While timely scheduling information is available on the web, having this information regularly available in other media sources has remained problematic. Both Educational Access channels are still not appearing in the "Television At a Glance" section of the MidWeek publication (although Olelo Channels 52, 53 and 54 are regularly included). Other scheduling information sources (Honolulu's two print newspapers and Oceanic Cable Channel 12) are also only displaying a small level of scheduling detail such as: 3 hours - UH Educational Access; or, 4 hours - DOE Programming.

During the reporting period Olelo has added a constant "bug" in the lower left portion of the screen on all five of Oahu's Public, Education & Government (PEG) channels--including the Educational Access channels. Unfortunately no one from education was even remotely involved in this decision. The rather large size of the individual icon for each channel and the "constant" nature of the bug are disruptive at times to the educational nature of the programming. In addition, the bug also has detrimental effects on the what can be called the "community spirit" which should be central to PEG access programmers on all islands. Most significant to HENC is the impact on the potential use of Oahu's Educational Access programming on the neighbor island access channels. In the past all EA programming has been, and continues to be, appropriately identified and information including regular Olelo acknowledgements are broadcast between programs. HENC sees little added value in the use of a constant "bug" on the EA channels and ask that Olelo consider removing this marking.

In accordance with the terms of the EA Agreement, HENC is to identify and confirm any recommendations relating to the programming needs of the educational institutions. This is to be based upon access to needed channel capacity. The UH reports that its current programming day is becoming crowded which allows little time for non-credit programming. A request for additional hours may be made in the near future.

At the time of this report HENC has not identified any other scheduling conflicts that required resolution.

 

Section 2.0 - The 2001 Awards

During 2001, the Hawaii Educational Networking Consortium (HENC) recommended three awards for the purpose of developing and delivering educational programming and services on the Oahu TEC and TEACh channels. The six-month use of the award funds are described below:

 

Section 2.1 - Award No. 1

Department of Education, Teleschool, State of Hawaii

Section 2.1.1 - Mid-Year Award Funding Review

The term of this report is for the six month period of January 1 to June 30, 2001. The

Educational Access funds awarded to the DOE/Teleschool for this review period include:

$176,214 - One-half of the DOE 2001 core programming funds award *.

$ 27,800 - Supplemental Programming funds expended from 01/01/01 to 06/30/01. **

$204,014 - Total funds allocated for review in this report.

*For the entire fiscal year of 2001 the Department of Education's Teleschool was awarded a total of $352,427.00 for core programming on Oahu, Channel 56.

** Details of the use Supplemental Programming funds can be found in Section 2.1.3 below.

 An accounting of all 2001 funds, and a review of fiscal records of the DOE's Teleschool will be a part of the comprehensive 2001 Annual Report to be filed in January, 2002.

 

Section 2.1.2 - Award No. 1 - Six Months in Review

The first 6 months of 2001 presented a set of unusual circumstances and challenges for the DOE. This was largely due to the 3 week public school teachers strike which started in April of 2001. During the strike, the DOE's Teleschool responded by offering a series of special instructional programs that students could view from home. These programs replaced the DOE distance learning programming that usually occurs during the instructional day. During the strike, the mornings were devoted to elementary level and the afternoons were devoted to secondary programs. During this time Language Arts programming were scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and Math programming aired on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Social Studies and Fine Arts programs were aired in the afternoons. In spite of the disruption of the strike the DOE has stayed on schedule with their proposed benchmarks defined in the 2001 plan. The production of planned distance learning programming, in-service staff development, and new programming are all well positioned for completion by year end.

The DOE staff is continuing their plan to align all programming to their defined standards. Such an effort allows for the repurposing of existing programming and a regrouping of titles into a centralized library collection. This categorization allows the titles to be offered as a cohesive package which will enhance and support school curriculum. The standards-based alignment of programming includes titles that are produced locally as well as programming that is acquired.

Recognizing that a majority of DOE school are now adopting some form of year-round schooling, Teleschool is currently working to modify its offerings. In keeping with a policy of "equity in access," July 2002 is the target date to roll-out a modified schedule to accommodate year-round schools. To meet this goal, the Distance Learning teachers have been reformatting their lessons and have been organizing programming according to "units of study" rather than semesters. When completed, all units will have web support materials for teachers interested in using the programming.

During the past six months the DOE has also expanded its partnerships with other learning institutions. Working with the summer school personnel at Kamehameha Schools, the DOE is currently transmitting programming originating from the school's campus. This summer programming includes two courses: Economics; and, History. The programming is live, with student interaction via the Internet and phone lines. The programs air daily from 8:00-11:00 A.M. Kamehameha students are able to take the courses for credit from their own home sites. Teleschool has also expanded a partnership with Kapiolani Community College (KCC) for the production of its "Tech Talk" and "Looks Good II" series. This partnership will allow KCC students to expand their skills and video programming expertise.

The satellite connection with KHET and the DOE head end at Teleschool has been successfully implemented. This connectivity allows for a DOE video server to access programming from the Annenberg Collection (http://www.learner.org/channel/schedule/) and make it available to schools, teachers, parents and students. New series from this collection which are scheduled for airing include: Human Geography; World Regional Geography; English Composition; Inside Statistics; The World of Chemistry; and, Exploring the World of Music.

Current and complete information regarding Teleschool's programming is available on the web at: http://teleschool.k12.hi.us/

 

Section 2.1.3 - Supplemental Programming

The reconciliation of the DOE Supplemental Programming (SP) funds are as follows:

 

Current Funds

$ 23,664.51 - Carry-over from previously unexpended Supplemental Awards.

$ 26,247.15 - 2001 - Supplemental Programming Award.

$ 49,911.66 - Total SP funds available to DOE.

 

Expenditures and Existing Balance

($ 27,800.00) - Less funds expended during this reporting period.

$ 22,111.66 - Balance to be allocated for future Supplemental Programming projects.

 

During the reporting period the DOE's Supplemental Programming grants funded and implemented three projects. A description of the programming is as follows:

Project Title: 30 Frames Per Second/ECELL

Partner: Moanalua Intermediate/ Lynne Sueoka

Award Amount: $7000

Fifteen fledgling video journalists from the Moanalua Middle School Complex received hands-on training in video production during a July '01 summer school course. As their class project, the students documented and compiled the projects and transformations of the Electronic Collaborative Educational Learning Lab's (ECELL) staff into three 1/2 hour programs. In addition to the student's production of three shows, the class was exposed to real world careers in video journalism. This included the challenges and issues confronted by local professionals in the field.

 

Project Title: What's up Fables

Partner: Honolulu District/Sandra Hu

Award Amount: $10,800

What's up Fables is a series of original fables written by teacher Sandra Hu. In the first phase, seven fables were performed and recorded by a select group of students from the Honolulu Complex, Gifted and Talented Section.

 

Project Title: Hawaiian Music

Partner: DOE Hawaiian Studies/ Puanani Wilhelm

Award Amount: $10,000

Two educational music videos performed by noted local artists featuring the songs Hawaii Aloha and Hawaii Ponoi. Both videos will have full captioning for use as an educational tool.

To fund the above reported projects the DOE expended a total of $27,800 of their Supplemental Programming funds during the 6 month period. The balance of the DOE Supplemental Programming funds yet to be allocated and expended is $22,111.66. Details of the use of these unallocated funds will be presented in the 2001 annual report.

 

Section 2.1.4 - DOE Award Mid-Year Summary

The DOE appears to be on track to complete the majority of its plans set out for 2001. While the hours of programming for the DOE do not represent an expansion in their overall programming, most of the change can be explained by the prolonged strike and the impact it had on credit programming. It is questionable at this time as to whether the DOE will be able to reach their goal of 10% growth in programming hours for 2001.

HENC is pleased with how Teleschool has been effectively fostering its outreach to expand partnerships, and with its excellent use of the DOE Supplemental Programming funds. One SP project successfully completed the taping of three half-hour productions documenting a transformational education experience and also assisted 15 middle school students to learn about video production from planning to production. The second, What's up Fables has completed the taping of the first 7 fables which feature local students from the gifted and talented program in the Honolulu District. The third award will provide a venue for new-comers and youth to learn two important songs of Hawaii. The projects that have been funded help to document on-going changes in education, train future video personnel and appear to have a good long-term return to the community.

 

Section 2.2 - Award No. 2

Hawaii Association of Independent Schools (HAIS)

Section 2.2.1 - Mid-Year Award Funding Review

The term of this report is for the six month period from January 1 to June 30, 2001. The Educational Access funds awarded to the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools for this review period include:

 
$37,500 - One-half of the HAIS 2001 core programming funds award. *

$ 5,000 - Supplemental Programming funds expended from 01/01/01 to 06/30/01. **

$42,500 - Total funds allocated for review in this report.

* For the fiscal year 2001 HAIS was originally awarded two equal allocations totaling $75,000.00 for core programming on independent school issues. Funds in the amount of $37,500 were allotted in February for the first 6 months of the year.

** Details of the use Supplemental Programming funds can be found in Section 2.2.3 below.

As detailed in the 2001 plan, the funds for the second six months of 2001 were to be allotted at mid-year 2001 upon "satisfactory progress" being made toward agreed upon goals. At the time of this report HENC has not approved an award for the second half of the funds for the HAIS project.

An accounting of all 2001 funds, and a review of fiscal records of the HAIS' project will be a part of the comprehensive 2001 Annual Report to be filed in January, 2002.

 

Section 2.2.2 - Award No. 2 - Six Months in Review

During the past 6 months HAIS has struggled with their planned objectives. As stated in the 2001 plan, HENC awarded HAIS a total of $75,000 for the year. One half of this amount was awarded during this reporting period and a second allotment of $37,500 was contingent upon tangible progress on their stated plan objectives. At the time of this report satisfactory progress was less than HENC expected and thus the mid-year funds will not be dispersed as planned. HAIS has stated that they will proceed toward their goals with the funds that they currently have.

In the face of this set back, HAIS has no reported change in their planned purpose or rationale for the program. HAIS plans to move forward with its existing resources to facilitate achieving their goals. These include: establishing cross linkages among individual schools; empowering teachers by providing an avenue for professional development; and, plans to begin to connect educators, students, and parents into a learning community. With these goals in mind, HAIS has sought outside expertise to help to achieve their intended purposes and to move the project forward.

Recently HAIS has hired local producer/director Robbe Ripp as a consultant and programming specialist to help to reduce the backlog of more than fifteen programs that require final edits. One program "New Schools and the New Millennium" was completed and is currently scheduled to air this Fall. Mr. Ripp will also apply his knowledge to further enhance the development plan for cable programs for the Hawaii Association of Independent Schools and to spearhead HAIS' efforts to develop and produce regular programming for Educational Access cable.

During the reporting period HAIS staff member Cecilia Domingo has completed training to learn the Final Cut Pro video editing software. Additionally this training will assist her in understanding the process of managing media from creation to distribution. It is planned that Ms. Domingo and the consultant will serve to train additional HAIS staff to help in the production of future programs.

HAIS has not made any significant equipment purchases in the last 6 months. For their current needs HAIS believes that they have sufficient infrastructure to enable the association to produce cable programs. Work is now focusing on learning how to effectively use the equipment to complete edits on existing taped programs.

During the reporting period, HAIS has continued the taping of appropriate programs to share topical educational programs from conferences and workshops and have put in place an action plan for implementing monthly studio programming designed to inform the viewer on independent school issues.

 

Section 2.2.3 - Supplemental Programming

The reconciliation of the HAIS Supplemental Programming funds are as follows:

 

Current Funds

$ 11,562.38 - Carry-over from previously unexpended Supplemental Programming Awards.

$ 00000.00 - 2001 - Supplemental Programming Award.

$ 11,562.38 - Total SP funds available to HAIS.

 

Expenditures and Existing Balance

($ 5,000.00) - Less funds expended during this reporting period.

$ 6,562.38 - Balance to be allocated for future Supplemental Programming projects.

 

During the past six months HAIS made its first grant for the production of Supplemental Programming for Educational Access. Details of this award are as follows:

 

Title: Why I Dance/Why I Teach

Partner: Mid-Pacific Institute

Amount: $5,000

This program will consist of four 30 minute programs with a backdrop set at the Mid-Pacific School of the Arts (MPSA) Spring Dance Concert. This concert is choreographed by the faculty and guest artists and is performed by MPSA students. Personal interviews will discuss the major/minor career influences of the artists and performers, their passion for dance, and their perspective on the rewards for teaching and learning.

 

To fund the above reported project HAIS expended a total of $5,000 of their Supplemental Programming funds during the 6 month period. The balance of the HAIS Supplemental Programming funds which has yet to be allocated and expended is $6562.38. Details of the use of these unallocated funds will be presented in the 2001 annual report.

 

Section 2.2.4 - HAIS Award Mid-Year Summary

As stated in the 2001 plan, the proposed HAIS funding was split into two equal portions. The first half of the funds was awarded at the beginning of the year and the second half was to be made available upon "satisfactory progress" toward the defined program goals. It was the consortium's decision that those goals were not met, thus HENC and HAIS have agreed to not funding the second portion of the planned 2001 award.

To their credit, HAIS has not backed away from their original intent. As evidence to their commitment, HAIS has agreed to complete their proposed plan with the funding that they have. To help to accomplish their objectives, HAIS has hired some external production expertise and will consider a video production intern during the Fall semester.

Applying for future Educational Access funds remains an option to HAIS, but first the association must show effective use of the funds by generating regular video programming. HENC remains committed to facilitating this important voice in Hawaii's education arena.

 

Section 2.3 - Award No. 3

University of Hawaii (UH)

Section 2.3.1 - Mid-Year Award Funding Review

The term of this report is for the six month period from January 1 to June 30, 2001. The Educational Access funds awarded to the University of Hawaii for this review period include:

 
$196,862 - One-half of the UH 2001 core programming funds award *.

$ 28,000 - UH Supplemental Programming funds expended from 01/01/01 to 06/30/01.**

$224,862 - Total funds allocated for review in this report.

* For the entire fiscal year of 2001 the UH was awarded a total of $393,724.00 for core Educational Access programming on Oahu Channel 56.

** Details of the use Supplemental Programming funds can be found in Section 2.3.3 below.

A full accounting of all 2001 funds, and a review of fiscal records of University of Hawaii's project will be a part of the comprehensive 2001 Annual Report to be filed in January 2002.

 

Section 2.3.2 - Award No. 3 - Six Months in Review

During the first 6 months of 2001 the University of Hawaii has kept on schedule to meet all of the benchmarks defined in the 2001 Plan. The UH plan called for the establishment of a schedule of the AA Degree courses to be produced and revised. The benchmarks in this planned schedule defines that the UH will produce 4 new programs during 2001.

At the time of this report two new programs for the Associate of Arts Degree have been identified and are in various stages of completion. The new programming includes:

1) English 209 (which will be aired Fall 2001); and,

2) Micro Economics 130 (to be aired Spring 2002).

The additional two programs, needed to fulfill the plan's benchmarks will be identified during the Summer for production during the Fall 2001 semester. This programming will be detailed in the 2001 Annual Report.

In Addition to the above new programming, five UH programs relating to the Associate of Arts Degree are scheduled for, or have already completed their revision. The list of programs slated for revision and there current status include:

1) Math 115 (completed and airing this summer);

2) English 100 (to be aired Fall 2001);

3) Anthropology 200 (currently under revision);

4) Geology 101 (currently under revision); and,

5) Psychology 101 (currently under revision).

Also benchmarked in the 2001 plan the UH stipulates that is will conduct and compile ongoing print-based and online evaluations. Routinely during each semester, the UH faculty have the option of providing online or hard copy course evaluations. History has shown that evaluation completion rates are higher for cable courses which have online components and where faculty require completion of the online evaluation prior to releasing final examinations. However, relevant evaluations continue to be problematic for totally cable-based courses.

In general, evaluations indicate that students are pleased with their courses. The only complaints that indicate a pattern of dissatisfaction revolve around the issue of the need for Internet access for cable courses. Many students do not yet have readily available Internet connectivity from home. They express concerns about the trend in UH distance learning programs which continue to rely more heavily on the Internet for class work submission, access to course materials, group interaction and regular instructor communication.

A subcommittee of the UH cable group met in June to review UH Educational Access credit programs to develop a list of criteria for improvement. It is planned that a list of criteria will be made available to the full committee during an August 2001 meeting. It is anticipated that this list will be refined and formalized over the next 6 months and that it will be submitted as part of the 2001 year-end report.

Section 2.3.3 - Supplemental Programming

The reconciliation of the University of Hawaii Supplemental Programming funds are as follows:

Current Funds

$ 34,451.11 - Carry-over from previously unexpended Supplemental awards.

$ 29,597.85 - 2001 - Supplemental Programming Award.

$ 64,048.96 - Total SP funds available to UH.

 

Expenditures and Existing Balance

$ 64,048.96 - Total SP funds available to UH.

($ 34,450.00) - Less funds expended during this reporting period.

$ 29,598.96 - Balance to be allocated for future UH Supplemental Programming.

 

During the reporting period the UH funded and implemented five projects from their Supplemental Programming Grant allocation. A description of the programming projects are as follows:

 

Title: Legally Speaking

Award Amount: $8,950

Partner: Kapiolani Community College and Legal Aid

 

Title: Communications Skills (Multi-lingual in an education environment)

Award Amount: $6,250

Partner: UH and the Employment Training Center (ETC)

 

Title: Island Connections (eight 1 hour programs)

Award Amount: $5,250

Partner: American Studies and the Peace Institute

 

Title: Kai‘Ewalu (eight 1 hour programs)

Award Amount: $5,250

Partner: Hawaiian Studies and their affiliates

 

Title: You & the Law (15 new programs)

Award Amount: $8,750

Partner: Kapiolani Community College and Legal Aid

 

To fund the above five projects the UH expended a total of $34,450.00 of their Supplemental Programming funds during the 6 month period. The balance of the University of Hawaii Supplemental Programming funds, which are yet to be allocated and expended, is $29,598.96. Details on the use of these undistributed funds will be presented in the 2001 annual report.

During a May 2001 meeting of the UH cable programming group, there was concern express about whether Supplemental Programming funds could be used for marketing purposes. There was consensus among the committee that as more for credit programs are developed with the SP funds, considerations need to be made on how to best market these programs.

The UH continues to build strong partnerships with the allocation of Supplemental Programming funds. One example of a future partnership program deals with Diabetes and Nutrition, a joint program proposed between the Leeward Community College Food Services and the Hawaii Diabetes Association.

 

Section 2.3.4 - UH Award Mid-Year Summary

The UH has continued to fulfill its defined objectives during the first six months of the year. This can be measured by an excellent growth in the number of students completing credit courses; good use of Supplemental Programming funds for outreach and to build strong partnerships; and, the UH's continual progress on developing new AA Degree courses and their attention to the revision and refinement of existing core courses.

As recorded in Section 1.2 of this report, the UH's current programming day is becoming increasingly congested. It should be noted that the current programming hours reported by the UH reflect a greatly reduced number of hours in the non-credit programming arena. This was largely due to the growth in credit course programming, which is further validated by the increase in the number of total credit courses available during the reporting period.

While the non-credit courses have taken a backstage, the UH continued to make time for informational programs that support the UH's equity and outreach mission relating to student study skills and the challenges associated with multicultural/multilingual communication in an education setting.

With six months remaining in the EA fiscal year, the UH Educational Access Committee is scheduled to meet at the beginning of August to: a) evaluate the UH Educational Access programming; b) discuss Supplemental Programming funds; c) review programming schedules; and, d) define their goals for 2002.

As required under the terms of the Educational Access Agreement, HENC has executed individual agreements with each of the year 2001 award recipients. These agreements set forth the terms and conditions regarding the amount and use of the funds, reporting requirements, and other matters deemed appropriate by HENC for purposes of accountability. All entities are in compliance with their agreements.

 

Section 3.2 - Report Summary

HENC and the three entities would like to thank Olelo for its continued support of Educational Access programming during the first six months of 2001.

Generally, the Hawaii Educational Networking Consortium is pleased with the progress being made relating to the two Educational Access Channels on Oahu. The University of Hawaii continues to make progress on its core programming by developing new AA Degree courses and on the continual revision and refinement of existing core courses. During the reporting period the DOE's Teleschool displayed resilience and resourcefulness during an extended teacher strike by offering external programming options for "locked out" students by using its video server and a newly implemented satellite connection to provide educational resources to viewers.

While HENC has decided to take the course of suspending additional EA funding to the Hawaii Association of Independent School through 2001, the association continues to remain committed to work through their problems in an effort to provide quality programming for Hawaii viewers on issues relating to independent schools. HAIS has stated that they will do this with available resources. HENC remains confident that marked progress will be reported in the 2001 Annual Report.

HENC is also proud to recount that during the review period the Educational Access awardees have authorized nine Supplemental Programming grants totaling $67,250. These funds will result in more than 50 new programs for the two channels.

As a part of the 2001 Mid-Year Report, HENC is also submitting a "2001 EA Supplemental Plan" (see Appendix 3) for the use of the $45,504.00 balance of EA funds which are now uncommitted. According to this plan these funds will be used by both the DOE and the UH for Supplemental Programming awards ($29,750), and the balance will be used for a mix of marketing and channel promotions. A formal letter requesting the disbursement of these funds will be provided to Olelo in the near future.

Section 1.2 of this report identifies two issues relating to Educational Access:

1) The first problem relates to the lack of detailed programming information being provided to the viewing public relating to Educational Access scheduling. All attempts to resolve this problem have not been successful. HENC is hopeful that the "2001 EA Supplemental Plan" to use a portion of EA money in advertising and marketing will break the impasse and persuade the media to increase their level of scheduling detail for both Channel 55 and 56.

2) The second issue that was previously referred to in Section 1.2 relates to the Olelo tag or "bug" that is constantly imprinted on both Educational Access Channels. As noted earlier the "bug" is disruptive at times to the educational nature of the programming and is reportedly discouraging neighbor island access providers from airing some of the Educational Access programs which are made available to them. HENC would like to see a remedy to this problem in the near future.

This report is believed to be in full compliance with the terms of Educational Access Agreement signed in 1998. If this is not found to be the case the Education Program Manager, upon request, will attempt to resolve any issues, concerns or conflicts with Olelo and the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs relating to the matters covered in this document.

This report will be made available online via the HENC website: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~henc/

    $ 8,004 - Allotted Funds not previously included in "2001 Educational Access Plan".

    -------------------------------------------------------

    $45,504 - Total balance of available EA funds.

     

     

     

    ------Use of EA Funds------

    $22,750 - To UH for: video course introductions by faculty for marketing

    and program filler purposes ($5750), print and radio advertisements ($10,000)

    and supplemental programming ($7,000).

    $22,754 - To DOE for: Supplemental Programming Grants.

    -------------------------------------------------------

    $45,504 - Total additional approved EA expenditures.
