Full HTML Index
Alliance interacts with education/outreach in two distinct ways
  • Communicate information about HPCC and computational science

As part of overall Alliance (quarterly) meetings an ongoing set of (inreach and outreach) workshops to
  • Identify Best of Practice Internationally with exemplars in curricula, technology with usability, user and assessment feedback
  • Establish and demonstrate Alliance capabilities and requirements
  • Plan Alliance activities

Foil 8 Overall Approach and Features - II

From Master Set of Foils for Overview of Education component of Cornell PACI Site Review Maryland -- Nov 5-6,1996. *
Full HTML Index
Include national community (outside Alliance) in workshops to ensure we find proper requirements and that our work has national impact
Note Web is a distributed "uncontrolled' environment and it is very important to listen to the "drumbeat of the Web" and take advantage of best new ideas wherever it comes from!
  • It is "the World's" Web and not "any one group's"
  • emphasis will be on flexibility and usability and not a seamless interface as rapid distributed evolution of the Web means we must be able to incorporate new technologies
Join a roughly top-down HPCC with the roughly bottom-up Web revolution

Full HTML Index
Time of change implies that we need a staged strategy:
  • "Flagship" demonstration projects
  • Identify key features from these prototypes
  • Mount or encourage broad deployment
A year is a long time and it is unrealistic to make detailed plans but we give two example Alliance-wide projects
  • one in graduate and one in K-12 area
    • Easier for Alliance to mount a major deployment in graduate than K-12 arenas!
