Foil 3 What Types of Technologies Does NPAC Develop in Education

From Web Technologies for Education Workshop on Education and Training Technology -- NIST -- 25 March 1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

We do not focus on Computer Based Instruction
Rather we try to develop aids to the teachers which could in principle be used by student on their own (constructivist approach) but can equally easily be used in more traditional teacher-led model
  • All our current projects are of the latter traditional type
So our digital video is aimed at helping teacher select short clips to show in class to augment lesson
Web technologies do help "automate" education but so much more and rapidly changing information that one expects teacher to be key in navigating through information overload!
