The MIT-E Network

The 2008-2009 school year is the MIT-E Network's 16th year of sharing high school and dual credit college classes among our member institutions. We are a consortium of 17 high schools and Central Methodist University, located throughout Central Missouri. In addition to pooling resources to increase class offerings for member districts, each school has committed to follow a common calendar and bell schedule. This collective effort allows member schools to send and receive high school and dual credit classes through Interactive Television (I-TV,) or videoconferencing, that would not otherwise be available locally. The MIT-E Network is among the most utilized I-TV networks in the state. MIT-E was formed in 1993 and is one of the original I-TV consortiums in Missouri.

Organizationally the network is composed of three groups: MIT-E North, MIT-E Central, and MIT-E South. Each group has a board of directors responsible for making decisions for their schools. Superintendents, principals, counselors, and site facilitators at each school have a role in making I-TV class offerings successful in their district.

Technically the network functions as a single entity. MIT-E North, Central, and South sites can connect with any other school in the network. Member schools contribute to a common network staff that is responsible for scheduling, budgeting, troubleshooting, technical support, and equipment maintenance.

Videoconferencing Rentals Available

The MIT-E Network facilities are available for rental to non-school organizations. If you require the use of videoconferencing facilities in Central Missouri, the MIT-E Network offers multiple locations near Jefferson City, Columbia, Sedalia, and the Boonville/Fayette areas. Videoconferencing is available across the area, nationally, or globally, depending on your needs!
