Foil 7 Examples of the Use of Java in Education

From Web Technology and Applications for Education CRPC Annual Meeting -- May 14-17 1996. by Geoffrey Fox


1 I expect Java to be the the dominant implementation language for everything on the Web from Servers, Clients, MOO's, filters, Animations, Simulations etc.
2 Can build neat clickable images including Visible Human (biology education!) and our 2D "Interactive Journey" clickable GIS for New York State
3 This has several obvious near term applications including some examples of education in HPCC arena:
  • Downloading software for demonstrations or general client side computing
  • Use of Java to animate the display of performance visualization data
  • Use of Java to produce visualizations of data movement in algorithms such as matrix and particle dynamics -- Brown University initially demonstrated in sorting
4 The above examples are quite interesting reasons for introduction of electronic journals as you should be able to explain complex ideas better this way
5 Note Web was initially book/libraries done digitally.
6 Now we are the second wave of opportunities exploiting the specific advantages of distributed computing backbone
