Web Technologies for Education and NPAC Projects Master Presentation

• 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 four significant activities where we have used Web Technologies to prepare and deliver education. These 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.
• These curricula development and delivery activities build on a suite of Web Technologies.
• We will describe how text-indexed video, Perl, JavaScript, Java, VRML (incurrent and future 2.X version) and object databases can and are being woven into a novel interactive educational technology base.
• We speculate on the implication of pervasive availability of such capabities on Universities or more generally the current educational establishment.
