Palomar College

The Western Access Video Excellence Awards (W.A.V.E.) were presented by the Alliance for Community Media Western States in October of 1999. Palomar College’s Educational Television was honored to receive an award in the Public Forum category for "Tools for Transformation: Making the Learning Paradigm a Reality," produced by Lisa Faas and William Flynn.

This live Public Broadcasting Service satellite telecast was licensed by over 113 colleges and universities throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The telecast addressed key issues in facilitating the transformation of the learning paradigm. This interactive program featured four nationally recognized leaders in education including Freeman Hrabowski III, President of the University of Maryland, who participated live via PictureTel video conferencing technology.

An additional award was received in the Educational Access category for the California Community College Satellite Network (CCCSAT) video produced by Lisa Faas, Warren Wolfe, and Judy Wind. This dynamic video highlights CCCSAT as a statewide initiative established by the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office to advance distance learning and to support the mission of the California Community College System.

CCCSAT will combine the power of television as a learning tool with the depth and diversity of information available through the Internet. CCCSAT’s vision in providing access, affordability, customer focus, and performance were clearly communicated through the use of key graphics and animations.

Palomar College’s PhotoShop telecourse with instructor Neil Bruington was a finalist in the Instructual Programming category. This class has been extremely popular with students and the community.
