Why and What could one Do?
One can integrate best information technology and leading physics and engineering research into new curriculum with both existing and new educational programs and outreach activities
This will invigorate traditional majors; integrate them into interdisciplinary education and improve broad based science understanding
One needs Internetics as key information technology curriculum
One needs good curricula authoring tools with universal Web API
One needs to advance technology and standards to enable universal access to web-based curriculum
One needs synchronous and asynchronous tools to broadly disseminate
One needs outside collaboration (such as NSF PACI EOT) to ensure integration with national agenda
One needs interdisciplinary teams of researchers and teachers to design and develop new curriculum materials
One needs innovative universities interested in new "enterprise models for education" and willing to experiment
