Group: Higher Education - Utah Education Network

Agency: Utah Education Network

Line Item: Utah Education Network

Function

Prior to FY 2008, the Legislature maintained two separate line items for UEN-including UEN programs and UEN Satellite System. Beginning in FY 2008, the Legislature combined the UEN Satellite System with other UEN programs under a single line item for the agency. The first of the two line items-simply called Utah Education Network-funded all of UEN's activities, including administration and other essential programs. It contained seven active programs, details for each of which follow. Prior to FY 2002, the Legislature accounted for UEN-including the digital television upgrade-in a single program called UtahLINK.

Funding Detail

The following table shows data for the entire Utah Education Network line item.

Program: Special Projects

Function

Currently in the Special Projects Program, UEN hosts Blackboard-Vista, a course management system, for 8 USHE institutions and the Utah College of Applied Technology (UCAT). Course management systems are Internet applications that allow students and faculty to complete most course tasks online from any location and at any time. Students connect via the Internet to each other, their instructors, learning activities, shared research materials, library resources, and some textbooks. Integration with campus administrative systems provides automated enrollment and grade reporting. (Source information: UEN administration.)

Background

In the past, UEN has implemented various projects, some with ongoing funds and others using one-time funding. As shown in the budget detail table below, there was an infusion of one-time funds in FY 2007 for the Internet Protocol Video Project. Once these funds were expended only funds for the Course Management System were included in this program. From FY 2008, the Internet Protocol Video Project was updated to Interactive Video Conferencing--the most current technology for live conferencing persons in various geographic locations. Funding for this technology has been included in Technical Services since FY 2008.

Funding Detail

The following table shows budget data for the Course Management System program within UEN. The negative amount shown in the table for FY 2010 is indicative of shifting within the UEN line item during the budget reduction process and not a cancellation of the program. Actual FY 2010 budget data will be more accurately reflected as the year progresses.

Program: Instructional Delivery

Function

This area of Instructional Delivery has in recent years been converted into WebCT, or the Course Management System, as explained in the funding detail below. As part of the UEN line item, Instructional Delivery assessed UEN user needs, provided direct user support, identified strategic direction for distance learning services, and managed UEN's contractual obligations. It also operated the UEN Satellite System (UENSS) and directed the Eccles Broadcast Center building project.

Funding Detail

The Instructional Delivery Program is shown as part of the Technical Services Program beginning in FY 2006. In FY 2008, the Course Management System (WebCT) was budgeted as part of the Instructional Delivery Program. It has been transferred to the Technical Services Program. UEN management has authority to reallocate that funding within the UEN line item and has done so since FY 2006.
