Oklahoma VISION Project
By: Lynda M. Applegate and Susan Saltrick
Abstract
Describes the two-year-old pilot phase of a public/private initiative in Oklahoma called the Virtual Internet School in Oklahoma Network (VISION) project. VISION was a first-of-its-kind, standards-based, vendor-neutral technology infrastructure developed to enable seamless end-to-end integration of the administrative and academic functions within a public school system. VISION promised Oklahoma's state education system greater access to information about the performance of schools, students, and teachers and a platform for improving that performance. Illustrates how the VISION partnership was built and how the VISION pilot was rolled out in nine public schools in Oklahoma.
