From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) Beijing and Chang Sha China -- 28 Dec 97 to 5 Jan 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


We use examples from K-12, Undergraduate, Graduate and Continuing Education including special (handicapped users) education
We consider applications which combine asynchronous and synchronous learning and combine education and training
We describe general computer based approaches to distance learning and the virtual classroom
We describe Tango Collaborative Infrastructure in the above context and review general collaboration approaches
We present an overall architecture for a fully POW based virtual learning system including Web-linked database at its heart
Can traditional universities survive this revolution or perhaps some will grow from it !?
