From Technology Supercharging Knowledge: The Next Generation of Learning Communities 8th Annual Scholarship and Community Conference University of Houston (Hilton Hotel) -- October 7 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox


It would be good to use simulations and nifty animations and digital video if available
  • Simulations can be server side objects or client side (applets)
But at the low end, use PowerPoint or HTML (with various levels of sophistication in editor)
  • Using COM can store individual foils of PowerPoint in a database
At the high end, use Macromedia Director or equivalent technology
Only use technologies that support web export
Consider as objects that can be stored in a database and exported as HTML/XML using some template
Store video and images in multi-resolution format to accommodate different curricula quality/network bandwidth tradeoffs
Expect authoring tools to improve
