Describes the two-year-old pilot phase of a public/private initiative in Oklahoma called the Virtual Internet School in Oklahoma Network (VISION) project. VISION was a first-of-its-kind, standards-based, vendor-neutral technology infrastructure developed to enable seamless end-to-end integration of the administrative and academic functions within a public school system. VISION promised Oklahoma's state education system greater access to information about the performance of schools, students, and teachers and a platform for improving that performance. Illustrates how the VISION partnership was built and how the VISION pilot was rolled out in nine public schools in Oklahoma.
To illustrate approaches to building public/private partnerships and the management of organizational innovation.
