a 2001 - 2002 Annual Report
The Metropolitan Educational Telecommunications Network (METNET) is a distance learning consortium consisting of 10 Twin Cities metro area community and technical colleges, Metropolitan State University and the University of Minnesota. It is one of six higher education regional networks, known collectively as the Learning Network of Minnesota, established by 1993 State enabling legislation. METNET serves its member institutions with a range of educational technologies to enhance the delivery of programs and services between members and with other post-secondary MET NET institutions in the state. The University of Minnesota serves as METNET ‘s fiscal agent. Highlights of the 2001/2002 academic year:
• Increase in the number of online courses being offered. • Increase in the number of courses delivered and received via interactive video technology. • Increase in student email accounts. • Introduction of Techmart, an online discount computer and technology service.
METNET has worked closely with the MnSCU system office and the University of Minnesota in updating the metro area network design to maximize the benefit of investment dollars. METNET negotiated with carriers to provide increased network bandwidth connecting all metro campuses with a high capacity Gigabit network (GB = 1000mbps) and access to Internet2. Additional funds for network modernization projects were provided by the 2001 Legislature.
This following report details the past year’s developments in METNET services and summarizes the activity undertaken by the network's Policy Board and the Technology Committee. The report concludes with a look ahead to 2002/2003 year.
Network Components
Network Facilities During the past three years, METNET, the State Department of Administration, InterTechnologies Group, the University of Minnesota and MnSCU have partnered. Work has continued on moving our network to an ATM core backbone using Internet Protocol (IP) based video and data streams and the incorporation of IP telephony (Attachment 1). This will increase the efficiency of the network bandwidth and provide greater flexibility in the use of the network. METNET prepared a Request for Bid to significantly increase the bandwidth capacity in the metro

a region (Attachment 2). AT&T Broadband and Qwest were the successful bidders and the transition to the new gigabit network will take place over the 2002-2003 academic year (Attachment 3).
ITV Facilities During the past year METNET added increased video conferencing capability with the installation of 17 H.323 Polycom administrative video conferencing units around the metro area. This was the first step in a process to migrate the video network to the internet protocol video standard H.323. A 24 port Accord multi point control unit was also installed at the network hub at the University of Minnesota.
E-mail and Techmart METNET is the only Minnesota higher education regional consortium to provide a student/staff e-mail service. Student e-mail is currently available at all member institutions. There are currently 6,247 users, approximately 11.05% of the eligible FYE's (full year equivalents) with active accounts, many of whom are using e-mail as an integral part of program course work (Attachment 4). Staff and faculty are also eligible for accounts. METNET introduced a web based e-mail service (WebMail) to its users in the fall of 1999. In the spring of 2001, METNET introduced a new full- featured webmail program (WebMailPro) provided by the University of Minnesota. Free e-mail accounts for life are now available to all eligible students, faculty and staff. It is anticipated that the email system will also be used to create login ids for WebCT users. Posters and bookmarks were also distributed to all campuses to promote the service (Attachment 5). Techmart is an online discount educational computer purchasing service for students and staff provided by the University of Minnesota. To access Techmart an authenticated login id must be used. These login id’s are generated by the email program. Postcards promoting Techmart were also distributed to all campuses (Attachment 6).
METNET Web Site The METNET home page is located at http://www.metnet.edu. Several new informational pages about our services have been added, as well as online request and assistance forms for both Video and WebCT services. The annual report and the METNET newsletter have also been electronically posted as well.
In addition to general information about METNET members and services, this site offers links to online resources such as electronic reference tools, library databases and research tutorials. Course information for METNET programming is available each semester.
Students initiate their e-mail accounts, change passwords and search the e-mail directory and access Techmart via the web page through a new authentication program.
METNET Annual Report July 2002 Page 2 WebCT WebCT is a web-based software program that facilitates the creation of worldwide web-based educational environments. It can be used to create entire online courses, or simply to publish materials that supplement on- campus courses. Aside from facilitating the organization of course material on the web, WebCT also provides a variety of tools and features that can be added to a course. This includes student progress tracking, online chat, course content searches, bulletin boards, searchable linkable glossary, group project organization, student self-evaluation, grade management and timed online quizzes.
Features of the current version of WebCT have provided increased functionality and allowed us to provide additional administrative capability at the campus level. All campuses have designated an individual responsible for assisting faculty in the development of on line courses. Course listings are available at: http://webct3.metnet.edu/webct/public/show_courses.pl
Program Development
The number of courses offered as online or web enhanced courses increased dramatically since the introduction of WebCT in the fall of 1998. Initial course offerings totaled seven. The numbers have increased to 700 courses and approximately 25,000 students registered and using web delivered courses during the past academic year. This total includes courses that are offered totally online or use a web enhancement for a regular course (Attachment 7).
It appears that most online users continue to use campus computer labs to access their courses. Activity for online courses occurs mostly during the regular class day. Heaviest activity on our WebCT server occurs between 7:00 and 3:00 pm weekdays. There is a significant drop off in use in the late afternoon. It also should be noted that there is no period during the day or night when no activity is taking place. This trend continues today.
A comparison of courses from this academic year (2001-2002) to last academic year (2000-2001) shows an increase in the number of ITV courses (Attachment 8). Eighty-four courses were offered for a total of 236 credits (Course Schedules, Attachments 9, 10, 11). Inter-regional activity (courses shared by metro and non-metro institutions) continues to dominate the ITV schedule, accounting for nearly 100% of all activity.
Only one-half of our member institutions participate in ITV activity. Anoka-Hennepin Technical College and the University of Minnesota remain the most active participants. In addition to credit courses, METNET offered several non-credit ITV events such as professional development workshops, seminars, customized training, administrative meetings and collaborative planning sessions.
METNET Annual Report July 2002 Page 3 METNET Administration, Organization and Funding
FY 2002 funding consisted of two grants from the Minnesota Educational Telecommunications Council (METC), a network operational grant of $581,243 and a regional coordination grant of $110,000, in addition to a one time supplemental grant of $216,000 for network infrastructure improvements. This reflected a 10% reduction in funding. A one-time enhancement grant to increase network capacity and convert to H.323 IP based video should be completed this year.
As a regional network, METNET has developed relationships with the five other regional higher education networks in Minnesota. On-going discussions include the development of policies and procedures to increase inter-regional cooperation and collaboration. METNET also has worked with the private colleges in the Metro area to explore areas of common technology services.

Project Overview
METNET provides regional network services to 12 higher education institutions at 17 locations in the Twin Cities metropolitan area. This network currently consists of single or multiple T-1 circuits from a single central hub to each location and shared network access to the Internet, the MnSCU statewide backbone, and to MNET. The network uses time division multiplexing (TDM) to divide and assign T-1 channels of 64kb/s each into H.320 video bandwidth and IP data bandwidth.
METNET has contracted with The InterTechnologies Group, Minnesota Department of Administration to be the network service provider for the METNET regional network. MnSCU also uses InterTech for statewide data network services. InterTech has partnered with the University of Minnesota to develop and maintain high-capacity access to the Internet and Internet 2.
METNET is moving forward with a network service re-design to accomplish the following:
1. increase network access bandwidth to locations needing higher speed IP data connections by adding additional T-1 or higher capacity access facilities to locations, 2. add dynamic bandwidth allocation between the video and data applications in order to provide the highest-possible bandwidth to data applications at all times, 3. add shared network bandwidth to the Internet; and to the MnSCU and U of M statewide backbone, 4. enable implementation of quality of service (QoS) protocols to support real-time multimedia communications over IP connections within METNET, 5. partner with MnSCU and the U of M to extend QoS and real-time multimedia support across the statewide networks, 6. add support for user-initiated real-time multimedia connections for audio/video/data connections, 7. provide METNET locations with H.323 ready videoconference hardware and 8. support development of IP video/audio streaming technology for WEB-based communications.
