Master Foilset for Technologies and Issues for Virtual University

This presentation sets the application (in this case education) backdrop for the HPDC95 Tutorial on the use of Web based technologies for education i.e. for the Virtual School (K-12 classroom) and the Virtual University

We assume that Living Textbook, Phy105/106 material (on-line screendumps) and InfoVision and WebServer discussions are also used

We describe uses of NII/GII in education, relationships with edutainment, advantages of digital versus analog, overseas as well as U.S.A.. delivery, role of Geographical Information Systems, role of Interactive and other simulations

We look at current as well as future Web Technologies and the implications for presentation of scholarly work and the curriculum
