New Vision is a consortium of school districts, post-secondary institutions, museums and private industries that demonstrates the dynamic ability of emerging technologies to expand and improve educational opportunities in rural, remote, poor school districts. Under the leadership of the Towanda Area School District in Pennsylvania, New Vision is establishing "distance learning centers" at 23 local education agencies, 6 post-secondary institutions, and the State Museum of Pennsylvania. These sites are being linked to a network of 40 schools and agencies committed to sharing local educational resources through interactive videoconferencing. Through its network, New Vision can offer high level classes that are not commonly offered due to low enrollment; use exemplary teachers to cover hard-to-fill positions in several districts at once; conduct unique student workshops; and offer advanced placement courses. The project is establishing one of the largest interactive networks in the country, involving over 54,000 students in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.
