Next Steps in CSC499 Experiment
There are many universities/schools where such “augmentation would be valuable
- http://www.webwisdom.org happy to offer such courses
Experience with teaching in China suggests huge demand in foreign universities where faculty less up to date in latest material
Repeating course at JSU spring 98 semester with improved curricula and somewhat improved bandwidth
Hope to produce a distance education version of grade 5-12 version of Web Technologies for kids offered February-April 98 in Syracuse -- http://www.npac.syr.edu/projects/k12javaspring98/
Jackson State will use Tango to teach CSC499 like course to other HBCU’s next fall
Note base material used in about 20 different courses/tutorials over last 2 years
- This approach has obvious economies of scale
- material updated continuously (e.g. Java1.0 to 1.1) which requires such economies to be realistic
