From Distance Education activities at NPAC Visit of Team from CIANET Sao Paulo Brasil -- April 7-8. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Taught using Tango/WebWisdom over Internet (now DREN via CEWES) every Tuesday and Thursday from Syracuse
  • Course material based on Syracuse Senior Undergraduate class ECS406
2 Jackson State major HBC University with many computer science graduates
3 Do not compete with base courses but offer addon courses with "leading edge" material (Web Technology) which give JSU graduates skills that are important in their career
  • Job fair employers liked Java Programming!
4 Needs guaranteed 30 (audio) to 100 (video) kilobits per second bandwidth assuming course material mirrored at JSU
  • Can be offered using CD-ROM's to homes with audio only link and 28.8 kbaud modem
5 This illustrates that synchronous delivery is a "guided tour" of large asynchronous resource -- 250 megabytes in total
6 Important to have curricula mentor and technology expert at remote site
