- (Apologies for this appearing in groups other than rec.travel - I just want
- to reach people in the appropriate fields of study)
-
- I will be in Europe next (northern) summer and in the US for a short period
- after, for the purpose of researching methods of remote delivery of educational
- material. I am interested both in existing systems (both educational and
- commercial) as well as current research in the area. I am principally
- interested in delivery of university level (undergraduate and postgraduate)
- technology-based course material.
-
- My reason for posting is to reach as many people as possible in my field of
- study, and to ask whether you would mind having an Aussie stop by for a chat
- sometime.
-
- Topics of interest include:
-
- Interactive video distribution and control e.g. delivery of lectures
- to multiple sites (both on and off campus).
-
- Multi-media in its application to tertiary technology education.
-
- Integrated information systems.
-
- Commercial service provision by universities e.g. provision of lecture
- material to corporate sites (I'm interested in costing
- structures, growth patterns, student participation etc).
-
- Local / Wide area network service provisions for multimedia and
- interactive video distribution (e.g. dedicated lines vs
- packet switched networks etc).
-
- Management of interactive teaching networks.
-
- Methods of delivery of service e.g. satellite, fibre, etc.
-
- Commercial equipment related to service distribution.
-
- Any other related topics! My brief is extremely broad, with a goal of
- identifying an implementation strategy for my university which allows
- for campus-wide, city-wide and [intra/inter]national delivery of
- educational material, with the ability to target whichever sectors of
- the education market (undergrad, postgrad, corporate, community
- education) are required.
-
- I am an engineer with a background in computer communications and
- digital systems design, so I am more interested in the technical and
- management aspects of service provision, rather than the pedagogy of remote
- teaching. However, I would like to hold discussions, in broad terms, with
- people experienced in the use of such systems from an educator's viewpoint.
-
- Please mail me - this is not really a topic of world wide interest to be
- kept on the net!
-
- Thanks,
-
