Foil 29 Distance Education Technology Outlook ?

From Distance Education and its Technology Chautauqua Albuquerque New Mexico -- 9 August 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Today asynchronous systems dominate using Web technology
For synchronous delivery, Tango 2 is about as good as you can do with current browsers -- compatible with major asynchronous mode
When W3C DOM fully supported and XML is well established, we can evolve Tango and Shared Browser to provide richer interactive shared Web Pages
Universal Access for different devices (Fully capable and impaired users) from PalmTops to PC's
Greater use of XML Web components for both content and for specification of collaboration policy
Integration of asynchronous and Synchronous messaging Services (Tango supports Pagers Palmtops etc.)
Integration of Tango and Database backends to provide "Portals to Education"
