Web Technologies for Education and NPAC Projects

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at Workshop on Education and Training Technology -- NIST on 25 March 1996. Foils prepared 4 April 1996

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.

This mixed presentation uses parts of the following base foilsets which can also be looked at on their own!
