GLOBAL foilset Challenges and Opportunities for Information Technology in ECS

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at ECS Faculty Retreat on 15 October 95. Foils prepared 12 October 1995
More Detail! * Foil Index from this file * See also color IMAGE

This talk described both the opportunity to teach the new emerging Information technologies and the opportunity to use these technologies to teach
Illustrations of the application of Technology to education include NPAC work using Java (WebFoil) and Databases as well as the collaborative enterprises KidsWeb, Living Schoolbook and Phy105/106
We surveyed the latest state of the Web and how it will be applied in a variety of applications from Business Enterprise Systems to Crisis Management
The Multimedia Master's degree and the corresponding Information track courses of computational science offer an excellent opportunity for ECS to provide attractive curricula of broad interest

This mixed presentation uses parts of the following base foilsets which can also be looked at on their own!
