Technologies and Issues for Virtual University

• This presentation sets the application (in this case education) backdrop for the HPDC95 Tutorial on the use of Web based technologies for education
  • i.e. for the Virtual School (K-12 classroom) and the Virtual University
• We assume that Living Textbook, Phy105/106 material (on-line screendumps) and InfoVision and WebServer discussions are also used
• We describe uses of NII/GII in education, relationships with edutainment, advantages of digital versus analog, overseas as well as U.S.A.. delivery, role of Geographical Information Systems, role of Interactive and other simulations
• We look at current as well as future Web Technologies and the implications for presentation of scholarly work and the curriculum
