Foil 2 Abstract of Minnowbrook -- the Virtual University Presentation

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


1 We describe some use of object web technologies and educational business models needed to allow Professors to live in Minnowbrook and teach to students around the world ....
2 I will assume that this group will provide communication technology
3 I will focus on curricula and software issues
4 This model will succeed because it will provide more cost effective and higher quality learning environments
5 It disassociates dormitory, mentoring and teaching roles of Universities
6 It can be done now but Universities will prevent for a while as they own right to give certified "certificates" and won't allow Minnowbrook to give "for credit" courses
