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. |
