Distance Education and its Technology

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at Chautauqua Albuquerque New Mexico on 9 August 99. Foils prepared 16 August 99

We describe the technology components that are needed to support distance education and training
  • We describe integration of asynchronous and synchronous/interactive learning
  • We describe role of databases, Java Applets and different authoring packages
  • We describe Role of Tango as delivery vehicle of a model of Web-based Education and Training
This model will succeed because it will provide more cost effective and higher quality learning environments
Greater use of emerging standards such as XML will improve situation
