Foil 102 Virtual Classrooms: Electronic University Class

From General NPAC Foils-B starting June97(PowerPoint) General Research -- June-December 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


We deliver class from a central site to several different places linked by pervasive Web Technology
  • Synchronous (delivery) plus asynchronous (self study and homework) collaboration technology improves current class experience as material better
  • As preparation leveraged over more students
  • Local people become mentors and this is text book model of today applied to delivery and preparation of lectures and homework
  • Students sits in front of individual or shared computer screen
  • Is central site a new or traditional type of entity (the individual "independent" Professor, a commercial company or a University?)
