Abstract of WebWisdom Object Web for Education and Training for China
We describe the Pragmatic Object Web (POW) model integrating Java COM and CORBA
We present an overall architecture for a fully POW based virtual learning system including Web-linked database at its heart
We consider applications which combine asynchronous and synchronous learning and combine education and training
We describe Tango Collaborative Infrastructure in the above context
We use examples from K-12, Undergraduate, Graduate and Continuing Education including special (handicapped users) education
Can traditional universities survive this revolution or perhaps some will grow from it !?
