Kansas Regents Educational Communications Center Director:
Mel Chastain The Kansas Regents Educational Communications Center was established at Kansas State University in 1986. The purpose of the center is to extend the educational resources of the university to the residents of Kansas and beyond through the use of a wide variety of telecommunications technologies. Through the development and blending of satellite uplinking and downlinking, fiber optics, multimedia, online environments and production, Educational Communications Center human and technical resources enable interactive learning environments to reach the classroom, laboratory, corporate board room or private home -- anywhere on the globe. This technology can deliver audio, video and data to homes, schools, work places, and learning centers in both traditional degree and non-degree formats, including continuing education, professional development and "lifelong learning" settings. While physically located on the K-State campus, the Kansas Regents Educational Communications Center has been involved in cooperative educational programs and projects with all the Kansas Regents institutions. Numerous public agencies and commercial entities have recognized the production capabilities of the center and have used the facilities for statewide and nationwide programs.
