Foil 34 Education in a Box -- Initial Steps to Understand Web Based Education

From Remarks on Parallel Computing and HPCC Education Ohio Supercomputer Center Workshop -- January 24 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox *

Certificate in Computational Science offered at Harbin Institute of Technology (North China) Spring 1996 -- started March 1,1996 -- is a prototype of Syracuse University extension school
Although Internet Connections to China is pretty dreadful, we still use Web Technology but package Electronic Course material on a Pentium PC at Harbin running WindowsNT and Java
  • Can use Oracle and Digital Video Server Support as well
  • Can use RealAudio digital audio (I record my lectures as I give them)
This is updated in batch mode by Syracuse -- China Connection
Students in China Interact with mentors in China and with NPAC via Internet (web and email)
Project got good reviews from students and press!
Project designed by Fox,Leskiw(NPAC), Xiaoming Li(Harbin and Peking visiting NPAC)
