Certificate in Computational Science offered at Peking University and Harbin Institute of Technology Spring 1996 is a prototype of Syracuse University (ECS/NPAC) based extension school
As Internet Connections to China are not guaranteed to be great(!) we will use Web Technology but assume that Electronic Course material will be packaged at NPAC(SU) in a Pentium PC running WindowsNT and Java
  • Possibly Oracle and Digital Video Server Support as well
  • Possibly RealAudio or similar digital audio
This will be updated in batch mode by Syracuse -- China Connection
Students in China will Interact with mentors in China and with NPAC via Internet (web and email)
Project designed by Fox,Leskiw(NPAC), Xiaoming Li(Harbin and Peking visiting NPAC)

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
