Agricultural and business degrees, a program called Master of School Mathematics and Web-based courses in biology and agronomy are all part of the distance learning program, she said. Bankirer said the regents' goal is to expand the program to include 800 classrooms by 1999 and especially to add more classrooms directly connected to the three regents universities. Another goal, she said, is to create more regents resource centers. There is currently only one, which is located in Council Bluffs on the campus of the School for the Deaf. Bankirer said the session will include a presentation of their plans for distance learning, group discussion and a question and answer session.
