The Center for Advanced Engineering and Technology Education (CAETE),
in conjunction with the masters-level interdisciplinary Telecommunications
program, uses Tegrity class-capture technology to make course lectures
available to military men and women serving around the world so they can
receive classroom instruction and review classroom materials as their
demanding schedules permit via the Internet.

"This is a fantastic example of the value Tegrity Campus 2.0 brings to
students, instructors, and higher education institutions," said Isaac
Segal, Tegrity CEO. "Students have increased access to the benefits of
learning, instructors reach more students, and institutions extend their
impact well beyond the campus environment."

Students in the program take a combination of technical and
non-technical courses using Tegrity in order to complete the requirements
for either a Master of Science in Telecommunications or Master of
Engineering degree from UC. Many of the military men and women enrolled in
the program are officers in the Army Signals Corps where advanced
telecommunications training is fundamental to success.

UC Senior Instructor Emeritus Gerald Mitchell is credited with
launching the military program when he began capturing his lectures using
CAETE's course capturing tool, Tegrity, several years ago. With Tegrity,
lectures are supplemented by the slides, drawings, and even handwritten
whiteboard notes he and other instructors use when delivering their
lectures.

"By using Tegrity, our students deployed overseas can log in from any
location, at anytime, to view their classes," said Gerald Mitchell. "By
giving these students the flexibility of anytime access, they are able to
stay current on their workload and manage the demands of balancing student
and military life."

Serving also as UC's military liaison, Mitchell is developing plans to
recruit more military personnel for UC education programs. Mitchell said
military students represent a great addition to the university. He said
quality course content and solid online learning capabilities are both
critical to attracting military students.
