Tango Interactive as Technology for Education: Current State and Futures

We describe the technology components that are needed to support distance education and training We describe integration of asynchronous and synchronous/interactive learning We describe role of databases, Java Applets and different authoring packages We describe Role of Tango as delivery vehicle of a model of Web-based Education and Training

This model will succeed because it will provide more cost effective and higher quality learning environments

Greater use of emerging standards such as XML will improve situation
