As the Iowa Distance Education Alliance (IDEA) concludes activities conducted through the Star Schools project, it is time to reflect on the accomplishments and findings documented through the evaluation process. During the first year of the project, activities focused on teacher training and public relations efforts as the state prepared for the fiber optic network to become operational. The fiber optic network was "lit" during the second year of the project and the project's emphasis then shifted to using the network to deliver programming for K-12 students and teachers, although training and public relations efforts continued. This report is divided into five major sections. The first summarizes activities and evaluation findings related to the Regional Partnerships, Iowa's community colleges and area education agencies working in collaboration with local school districts in each of the state's 15 regions. The second summarizes the activities and evaluation findings related to the Teacher Education Alliance, which consists of the three state universities. The third summarizes the activities and evaluation results related to the Communication and Resources Clearinghouse, which promotes communication between and among the Iowa Distance Education Alliance partners. The fourth summarizes the two-year accomplishments of the IDEA by the six project goals. The fifth section presents conclusions and recommendations resulting from the evaluation activities.
