Computing technology is changing rapidly with powerful Web and distributed object technology layered on pervasive communication links, enabling the construction of large scale systems. This has several implications, which have broader significance than just changing research and course contents. We describe some of these including:
|
| 2 |
New curriculum for computer science centered on Internetics and its implications for science communication and teaching.
|
| 3 |
New approaches to distance education which could change the roles of educational institutions and personnel in areas from K-12 through lifelong learning.
|
| 4 |
New approaches to computing environments which will enable more productivity and hence accelerate integration of computation into many fields.
|
| 5 |
Shift of roles between industry and academia and difficulties of University research teams working on accepted "Internet Time" for commercial innovation.
|
| 6 |
Relevance of distance education to curriculum changing with "Internet Time".
|
| 7 |
Changing definitions of interdisciplinary programs (such as computational science) and implications for traditional fields such as physics, which are seeing declining student interest.
