NSF is handling the award because of its interest in this and related projects, some joint-funded with ARPA. The award supports an 18 month project to investigate seamless delivery of high-quality interactive multimedia programing using CD-ROM (local) and server (network) content over a wide spectrum of bandwidths. In addition to two prmtotypical programs being developed, deliverables include client and server software, research reports, publications and tutorials and colloquia. Most of the effort will be performed by Dartmouth College and Medical School under a subcontract to MIT. MIT is the prime on two related awards and is coordinating the entire effort. The University of Georgia is providing assessment of learning outcomes under a subcontract to Dartmouth.
