The Nebraska Statewide Synchronous Video Work Group was chartered by the Technical Panel of the Nebraska Information Technology Commission on November 8, 2002 to develop the technical and non-technical recommendations needed in order to provide for a statewide, interconnected, synchronous video network serving citizens involved with education, state government, and telehealth.

The objectives of the workgroup are to:
a. Conduct informative and working sessions to determine the needs, issues, and participants regarding synchronous video interoperability within and outside the state;
b. Encourage participants to improve educational opportunities in the state via continued evolving video distance education;
c. Determine the support structures and augmentation needed to maximize the synchronous distance learning experience;
d. Prepare an implementation plan for adherence to the new video/audio standards while making the most efficient use of the existing distance learning facilities;
e. Identify or develop a "core sponsor" for video distance education in the state that will be the focal point to coordinate all of the activities associated with enhancement of services and interrelationships that will be critical for continued success; and
f. Evaluate options for providing ongoing support services.
