This award is for the acquisition of teleconferencing and multimedia technology, and for curriculum changes to expand a curriculum in Telecommunications. The University of Pennsylvania will use a new instructional delivery system, the "video wall", to develop "Telementoring" as a long distance learning technique. The video wall is already being used in research projects by members of the AURORA Gigabit Testbed which is being supported by both NSF, DARPA and a consortium of industrial research partners. Educational materials developed will be made available to other academic institutions through Internet, and results of the educational experiments will be disseminated through publications and presentations at educational and professional meetings. The University of Pennsylvania plans to use a state of the art instructional delivery system, the "video wall", to provide multimedia and teleconferencing support for undergraduate courses in telecommunications. The video wall is an experimental video conferencing terminal with two large screen projection televisions mounted side-by-side creating the illusion of one large screen. Two cameras, co-located with the screens, are arranged to produce a single blended life- size image which is combined with high-quality directional sound. The results of the curriculum and materials development will be disseminated through Internet, and publications and presentations at educational and professional meetings.//

该奖项用于收购电话会议和多媒体技术，以及为扩展电信课程而进行的课程变更。 宾夕法尼亚大学将使用新的教学系统“视频墙”来开发“Teletoring”作为一种远程学习技术。 该视频墙已被 AURORA 千兆测试台成员用于研究项目，该测试台得到了 NSF、DARPA 和工业研究合作伙伴联盟的支持。 开发的教育材料将通过互联网提供给其他学术机构，教育实验的结果将通过出版物和在教育和专业会议上的演示来传播。 宾夕法尼亚大学计划使用最先进的教学系统“视频墙”，为电信本科课程提供多媒体和电话会议支持。 视频墙是一个实验性视频会议终端，两台大屏幕投影电视并排安装，营造出一个大屏幕的错觉。 两个摄像头与屏幕位于同一位置，可产生单个混合的真人大小图像，并与高质量的定向声音相结合。 课程和材料开发的结果将通过互联网、出版物以及在教育和专业会议上的演示来传播。//
