Foil 31 Degrees courses offered over the NII (Internet)

From Webserver General Description -- January 1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
These hyperlinked Interactive Multimedia approachs to Distance Learning can be extended to offer Degrees, Certicates, Courses etc. to remote users
Each group of users would use their own focal Web server
  • For instance, continuing education for NYNET would use corporation-specific Web server linked to those of originating Universities
  • Use FLAG to link Web Server in NPAC to local servers at the FLAG off-ramps in Africa
    • Allow Syracuse to offer education and consulting on world-wide basis
    • FLAG too expensive for direct interactive video links to USA but can afford to download each video clip once and allow local access
  • Note would allow lower bandwidth interactive links to USA as part of instruction i.e. caching (data replication) is selective
Living Textbook is an example of this in K-12 Education
