What is ITV?
INTERACTIVE TELEVISION (ITV)
– one-way video & two-way audio
– via satellite
ITV emulates the classroom at a distance
A Variety of Instructional Methods
 HD video & high-end graphics (overhead
cameras, detailed PC screen displays, etc.)
 Live, interactive learning exercises
 Teaching interviews
 Panel discussions
 Guest speakers
 Student interaction with the experts—
standardized instruction
 Student-to-student interaction— enhanced
in a classroom setting through
audioconferencing & BYOD polling
Keep in mind
Different types of aircraft . . .
. . . for different types of missions
Keep in mind
Different types of media . . .
. . . for different types of learning objectives
As an instructor . . .
If you had your choice . . .
. . . you would want one-on-one mentoring
As an instructor . . .
But when you can’t, the next best thing . . .
. . . is a classroom environment
As an instructor . . .
And when you’re required to use distance
learning, interactive television (ITV) by
satellite can preserve that classroom
environment very cost-effectively!

Satellite—the best kept secret
in the distance learning industry
So why the secret?
• Satellite not frequently considered for distance
learning—often considered exotic and expensive
• Panacea syndrome—Web is the answer for all
distance learning
• Little awareness of the benefits of satellite technology
• Some schools in Fed Gov model themselves after
academic institutions that cannot use enterprise-wide
solutions
• Little awareness of its extensive use in corporate
America and in Federal Government
. . . so who IS using satellite?

An Effective Distance Learning Medium
 Inexpensive course development
 Inexpensive delivery for medium-to-large
audiences
 Inexpensive downlink equipment

Basics of MIST
What:
• Public Law 107-314 of the FY03 Defense Authorization Act
directed the DOD and VA to implement a Heath Care
Incentive Fund
• In 2005, the VA (as Lead Agent) proposed a joint agency,
satellite based, educational channel using current medical
content from the CDC, VA, DOD Services, and other
providers
• Grant of $2M was approved and implementation started
July 2006—VHA Employee Education System (EES), St
Louis MO, with ATN PMO & Army Satellite Education
Network
• Army transferred operational oversight & MIST funding to
ATN PMO—Defense Education & Training Network (DETN)
founded
Basics of MIST
Why
• Increasing need to share medical information and
training—rapidly and universally—using existing
infrastructures
• CME/CEU credits for selected programs
• Offers access to very large segment of DOD population
thanks to single hub (DETN) and compatible downlinks
• Cost-effective—centrally funded, no local costs
• Allows for rapid, cost-effective deployment of additional
infrastructure where needed
When & Where:
• Programs are broadcast during duty days to sites across
DOD, but only AF has rooms inside medical facilities—
Army & Navy must rely on VTC systems not collocated
with medical facilities

Who are we?
What is ITV?
What are ATN, DETN, & GETN?
Basics of MIST
Basics of MIST-NG
Basics of MIST-NG
What:
• In March 2013, a second proposal called “MIST-Next
Generation” (MIST-NG) successfully submitted by ATN
PMO (lead agent) & VHA EES & to secure $11,868K of
which $7,861K was DOD’s share to do the following:
– Greatly expand existing shared-training between DETN and
VHA EES—encourage convergence on technology
– Link major medical teaching institutions in DOD to DETN
satellite hub
– Add downlink classrooms to all remaining medical centers,
hospitals, and clinics CONUS & OCONUS—currently only
CONUS AF facilities have downlink classrooms.
– Add IPTV desktop capability for short, non-interactive
programs at all medical centers, hospitals, and clinics worldwide—and since IPTV installed at hubs, IPTV will be available
for other DOD DL
Basics of MIST-NG
Why
• Need to increase training cost-effectiveness: MIST
already succesful—71K student training hours at $2.63
per student-hr—MIST-NG will yield estimated 4-fold
increase resulting in $0.69 per student-hr cost
avoidance of $173M in CME/CEU training
• Need to Expand reach: 108 med facilities CONUS & 47
OCONUS do not have connectivity
• Need to increase training programs: AMEDD, SAMMC,
FBCH, METC, WRNMMC, WAMC, USAFSAM, NMCSD,
NMCP, NTTC, & DHHQ
• Need to provide a blended learning environment: Need
to reach desktops for shorter courses
• Can support disaster recovery
Basics of MIST-NG
How is it being managed?
• VA/DOD Health Executive Council (HEC) has oversight of
MIST-NG
• General and financial & operational management
conducted by ATN PMO Director, HQ Air University OL-A
(HQ AU/OL-A), under HQ AU Education Operations &
Logistics Directorate (HQ AU/A3/6)—reports to DOD CoChair of VA-DOD HEC WG
• Day-to-day management conducted by MIST Program
Manager, under ATN PMO Director
• After 2 years, out-year costs to be added to DOD’s POM
supported by OASD(HA) (bandwidth, maintenance, &
admin)
• If POM not approved, MIST goes “Space A”
Basics of MIST-NG
How will it work?
• VA and CDC will provide both interactive and
prerecorded content via satellite
• Other DOD content providers ( 11 sources so far) will
link via terrestrial T-1 lines to ATN hub
• Content provided outside DOD will continue to be
downlinked and rebroadcast via DETN hub
• CME/CEU credits awarded by content providers
• 17 Oct 13 VA Memo: EES to continue to grant non-VA
learners and expand CEUs to co-sponsored DOD
programs
68
Basics of MIST-NG
How is it being executed?
• Funding received by HQ AU on 27 Jun 13
• Planning meetings w/VA & w/DHHQ
• Build advocacy from HQ down to local medical facility
• Phase I: Establish broadcast capabilities with AMEDD,
SAMMC, FBCH, METC, WRNMMC, WAMC, USAFSAM,
NMCSD, NMCP, NTTC, & DHHQ—PMO will set up inbriefs, site surveys, installation, faculty training, & assist
in planning content delivery
• Phase 2: Install classroom downlinks at all remaining
DOD facilities world-wide—PMO conducting site survey &
site coordinator training & establish satellite connectivity
OCONUS
69
Basics of MIST-NG
How is it being executed?
• Phase 3: Install IPTV capability at hub to reach all
desktops DOD-wide
• All phases starting together
• Quarterly progress reports submitted to VA/DOD HEC
