A Prototype Distance Learning Computer Laboratory for Exploratory, Asynchronous Learning

9552985班贝格在这个项目中，远程学习计算机实验室的关键组成部分将原型。特别是，以下系统将被开发：一个人际沟通工具，它结合了电子邮件，视频会议，listserv/listproc，usenet新闻，WAIS，gopher和WWW的元素;基于网络的，交互式的，媒体丰富的，数字收藏或课程材料;和创作代理人的人际沟通系统和交互式数字收藏的无缝集成。原型系统将在赠款期间开发和实地测试。可供评估的项目将包括原型系统、用于评估这些工具对教育提供的影响的原始数据以及一项初步评估研究。为了充分证明远程学习计算机实验室的必要性和好处，将在数字图像处理课程的范围内开发原型系统。***

9552985 Bamberger In this project, key components of a distance learning computer laboratory will be prototyped. In particular, the following systems will be developed: an interpersonal communication tool which combines elements from email, video-conferencing, listserv/listproc, usenet news, WAIS, gopher, and WWW; network based, interactive, media-rich, digital collections or curricular material; and authoring agents for the seamless integration of the interpersonal communication systems and interactive digital collections. The prototype sytems will be developed and field tested during the grant period. Deliverables will include the prototype systems, raw data for assessment of the impact of the tools on educational delivery, and a preliminary assessment study. In order to fully demonstrate the need for and benefits of distance learning computer laboratories, the prototype system will be developed in the context of a course on digital image processing. ***
