February 2002 - Dan River Region citizens are invited to tune in for a free broadcast of this year's JASON Project to be held February 5, 2002 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. in the Pittsylvania Room of the Learning Resources Center at Danville Community College. Jean Plymale, a member of Virginia Tech's eCorridors team which is looking to extend the eDan initiative, will be moderating the live broadcast from the Danville location. Interaction will take place over the Internet at network speeds that are about 1000 times faster than a dial-up computer connection. Networks with this high-speed capability enable the delivery of interactive broadcast, including quality video and high fidelity audio, both of which are critical components of the JASON Project experiment and distance learning. The "Internet2" application used in this statewide broadcast demonstrates some of what will be capable across this community with eDan.
