Foil 45 Possibly Relevant NPAC Education Activities

From Education, Research and Institutional Models for Universities in the Next Millenium Seminar at University of Houston -- May 10 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1) New Curriculum: Internetics Concept as novel and powerful way of linking Computing to Applications
  • Concept generalizes computational science
  • An Internetics Certificate which we will offer over Internet both in USA and internationally
  • Interest in Integration with physics for new degree options
2) Improved curriculum in existing fields as in Physics-NPAC-Engineering-Cornell Collaborative Applets and web-based simulations
3) TangoInteractive (Collaboration System) and WebWisdom (Web-linked database) as web-based distance education technology to allow broad dissemination of curriculum starting locally
4) NeatTools linked to TangoInteractive for universal access allowing those with disabilities to be effective teachers and learners
5) Collaboration with NSF PACI (NCSA,UCSD supercomputer centers) to accelerate national outreach and ensure top quality
6) Note NPAC was once a parallel computing center -- now 40% of its activities are either delivery of or technology development for education
