Foil 3 Portals in Education and Training

From Collaborative Portals for Distributed and Distance Learning NCSA Industrial Partners Meeting -- October 12-13 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


We are discussing Web-based education or portals to a virtual university or virtual corporate training center and yesterday you heard about portals to computing
Merrill Lynch predicts that Enterprise Information portal market will be $15B by 2002
So assume that we are building education portals in terms of "Distributed Educational Objects" -- this is not really an assumption but a statement as to "language used"
Portals are built as a customizable set of XML components ( e.g. Display a thumbnail of the next web-page in lecture or run a Particular Program )
