From The National/Next Generation Information Infrastructure in the service of Education Training and Computational Science RCI Federal SIG Meeting Williamsburg Marriot -- April 17 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox *

1 Take Web electronic society technology which link people together and use to join teachers mentors and students
  • Whereas HPCC needs "upscale" collaboration technology, education should be designed so that one can link to peoples' homes and so use democratic technology
2 Meanwhile can look at VRML2 for Immersive virtual learning environments
3 All of these technologies can be used either synchronously (organized sessions) or asynchronously (students learn in their own time and interact with teacher/mentor in batch mode)
4 Log educational sessions (including multimedia material) in databases and use for assesment
