Abstract of Distance Education: How to do it

From Distance Education: How to do it DoD HPC Modernization Users Group Tutorial Monterey California, ACM Java Grande San Francisco, EDMEDIA Seattle -- June 7 99, June 14 99, June 20 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox *

1 We describe some use of object web technologies to both author and deliver distance education and training
  • We describe integration of asynchronous and synchronous/interactive learning
  • We describe role of databases, Java Applets and different authoring packages
2 This model will succeed because it will provide more cost effective and higher quality learning environments
3 It disassociates dormitory, mentoring and teaching roles of Universities and puts them in competition with for profit training organizations
4 It can be done now but there are important business issues concerning issuing certificates that are recognized as valid for credit indicators by "real universities"
  • What will be the cost/price of distance degrees?
