GLOBAL foilset Web Technologies as a Revolution in Teaching at K-12 and University Level

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at APS-AAPT Joint Meeting IBM Watson Research Center on April 12-13 1996. Foils prepared 17 April 1996
More Detail! * Foil Index from this file * See also color IMAGE

This "version" of Education talk is organized around technologies with projects introduced to illustrate technology use
The technologies are text-indexed video, Perl, JavaScript, Java, VRML (in current and future 2.X version) and object databases
The World Wide Web offers the potential for revolutionary changes in education at all levels from K-12, undergraduate, graduate and continuing (lifelong) levels.
We describe these technologies in context of four significant activities where we/our collaboraters have used Web Technologies to prepare and deliver education using the web. These projects are the
  • Living SchoolBook -- 6 K-12 schools in New York State connected by the high-speed ATM network NYNET to HPCC resources at NPAC;
  • Undergraduate science education for non-science majors;
  • Graduate computer science courses both at Syracuse and remotely with students in China.
