. The Bell Atlantic Foundation provided 140 scholarships to primary, secondary, vocational and higher-education teachers in Bell Atlantic's service area to attend a two-day distance learning seminar administered by the Teletraining Institute.

In addition, 28 teachers were selected to participate in an intensive one-week Summer Academy, where they will form a teacher-training instructor corps to share their knowledge with others.

Over 200 schools in the Bell Atlantic (www.ba.com/dl) region currently use full-motion interactive video networks to share and extend their teaching resources. The firm offers various distance learning solutions, including desktop and room-based applications and multi-point bridging.
