Abstract of An Introduction to Web-based Education Presentation
We start with an overview of web based education in asynchronous and synchronous modes

It is quite reliable and one of most sophisticated “WebWindows” applications -- build systems entirely on top of Web clients and servers
Overview of Tango Architecture, Capabilities and how to use it -- not only in education but also in
Collaborative Visualization and Computational Steering or more generally Collaborative Research
In each case one needs a mix of Asynchronous and Synchronous collaboration and a mix of real-time and archival information.
