Foil 15 The Ingredients of Web Based Education

From Minnowbrook -- the Virtual University After Dinner Talk to Dedicated AFOSR Research Team -- April 15 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Design of (possibly new as exploiting new possibilities) curricula
Decide on Architecture of the curricula material
Authoring of material in curricula
Managing the material and students response to it including quizzes, grades and administration
Delivery of the material in a mix of self-paced (asynchronous), traditional (synchronous) or collaborative (interactive)
Good answers to all these components are pretty clear and these answers will match the evolution of web over next few years
  • The answers are not perfect but they will improve and they are already good enough and can be delivered at a distance
So all we need is .......................
Organizations with appropriate mission, resources and entrepreneurial spirit to do the grand experiments, succeed and blossom in the future ....
