Abstract of Cook Book for Distance Education
We describe some use of object web technologies to both author and deliver distance education and training
- We describe integration of asynchronous and synchronous/interactive learning
- We describe role of databases, Java Applets and different authoring packages
This model will succeed because it will provide more cost effective and higher quality learning environments
It disassociates dormitory, mentoring and teaching roles of Universities and puts them in competition with for profit training organizations
It can be done now but there are important business issues concerning issuing certificates that are recognized as valid for credit indicators by “real universities”
- What will be the cost/price of distance degrees?
