Foil 46 Opportunities in Education - II

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 *

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
Meanwhile can look at VRML2 for Immersive virtual learning environments
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)
Log educational sessions (including multimedia material) in databases and use for assesment
