As part of his inaugural activities at GMU's Johnson Center, Governor James Gilmore sampled one of SOM's distance learning intitiatives presented at the Northern Virginia Technology Showcase January 11, 1997. "He seemed thoroughly approachable and genuinely interested in my multi-point teaching initiative," stated Jim Harvey. "I think he was pleasantly surprised to see himself live via Internet imaging and to experience first hand our achievements in interactive, multi-media distance education," Harvey added.

Using LiveBoard hardware and software and Pro-Share imaging, Professor Harvey was able to demonstrate to Governor Gilmore that personalized distance learning can be accomplished at the same time boosting teaching effectiveness and efficiency
