In the 1980's, Views on Learning acquired 24 FCC Licenses for educational use and incorporated into a 501(c)(3) non-for-profit organization.  In 2004, the FCC renamed the spectrum, the Educational Broadband Services.  With the FCC change, Views on Learning also changed.  The board was reorganized and a focus was placed on using the revenue from the license leases to enhance and enrich schools and students in the market areas.  The board decided that by providing our market schools with Lifesize® Interactive Video Conferencing equipment, Learn360 licenses, free high-speed wireless Internet, collaboration opportunities, and ongoing support, Views on Learning could positively impact education.  

In 2008, Views on Learning formed a partnership with the Northern Indiana Educational Service Center and hired a full time distance learning coordinator in 2009.  Since that time, Views on Learning has distributed 13 interactive video conferencing units and schools are realizing the benefits of video conferencing.  All of the services and equipment are provided through a grant process at no cost to our market schools.  

We are now partnering with schools across the country and currently, we have partner schools/educational organizations in Lansing, MI, South Bend/Elkhart, IN Fort Wayne, IN, Anchorage, AK, Fairbanks, AK, Covington/Atlanta, GA, Fort Meyers, FL, Columbus, OH and DeMoines, IA. In the next few months, all of our markets will be represented.
