Foil 10 Why use TangoInteractive?

From Physics and Engineering Educational Initiative Project Review at NPAC -- Jan 18 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox


New Academic Curriculum suggest the use of distance education as it will allow a few experts to deliver instruction to more students and this
  • addresses shortage of trained faculty
  • cost of developing new curriculum requires many students to amortize cost
Internetics technology such as TangoInteractive and WebWisdom (web-linked multimedia database) enables distance education
Assume future of all education and training is "web-based" and that base Web Technology supports self paced asynchronous learning
  • Database (linked to web) allow management and assessment
  • Synchronous(Interactive) and Project based learning enabled by Web Collaboration systems
Both delivery mechanism and identification of knowledge nuggets (such as Internetics or computational science) that are smaller than a traditional degree suggests different approaches to certification
