From Master Foilset for Technologies and Issues for Virtual University HPDC95/SC95 Tutorials -- August 1/Dec 4 1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

Education will be totally changed by the use of distributed InfoVision servers and clients
The power and pervasiveness of today's machines with the replacement of analog video services by digital services suggests this time I will not be wrong
InfoVision will not only improve education but suggests totally new educational systems with radical changes to traditional universities and K-12 schools
These changes in University -- student interactions are accompanied by
  • Changes in research (reduced funding with different expectations -- e.g. train graduate students for industry not to be university faculty)
  • And changes in academic disciplines with merging of some fields and growing interest in multidisciplinary work.
