Maly 95-54261 Building on its expertise in networking, computer supported collaborative work, and remote learning, Old Dominion University will prepare to build a statewide highly Interactive Remote Instruction (IRI) pilot system based on networked workstations. Technology and pedagogical methods developed in the system will be integrated into TELETECHNET, a state funded program in which Old Dominion University and community colleges provides four-year degree programs. The first two years are being taught at the community colleges with the last two being provided by Old Dominion University to remote community college campuses via networked and televised course instructions. The project will consist of a three-year phase of research, development, implementation and evaluation. Significant contributions include: 1) refining an existing IRI system to provide an open-ended teaching/learning environment with a set of basic features easy to use by students and faculty of all disciplines; 2) developing the basic concepts of new instructional methods to exploit the interactivity of the system in support of higher domains of learning; and 3) bringing together a consortium of government, industry and academic individuals who are dedicated to innovative approaches to education for the 21st century, and 4) providing Virginia with a cost-effective method of delivering high quality education remotely; and 5) serve as a model for other states faced with similar problems. The proposed open hardware/software architecture uses existing technologies but anticipates the wider availability of a high-speed Information Superhighway and multimedia workstations in the near future. The system provides two-way video to remote sites; shared operation of X-window tools and applications; interactive note-taking; a VCR-like replay of past classes and ancillary material and a full motion video window which can display the instructor, a classroom demonstration, or any PC, Macintosh or X-window application. These in structional capabilities enables instructors and students to access multimedia generated from a variety of sources and to use group collaboration tools for interaction between two participants, among small groups, or entire classes. The system will provide audio-visual interaction and allow faculty and remote-site students to share the manipulation of software tools, such as spreadsheets or chemistry models. While the elements of IRI are currently technically feasible, a major portion of the project's efforts are directed to the developing of new student-centered teaching methods and paradigms which take advantage of the environment and to refining the hardware and software through experience of actual instructional needs. This system will provide easier access to higher education for both traditional and non-traditional students, who for personal or financial reasons choose not to reside at a four-year institution. IRI will promote effective use of network and computer technology for all participating students and faculty.

Maly 95-54261建立了其在网络，计算机支持的协作工作和远程学习方面的专业知识上，旧的Dominion University将准备建立一个基于网络工作站的全州高度交互式远程教学（IRI）试验系统。该系统中开发的技术和教学方法将集成到Teletechnet中，Teletechnet是一项国家资助的计划，其中旧的Dominion大学和社区学院提供了四年制学位课程。最初的两年正在社区大学教授，最后两年由旧的Dominion University通过网络和电视课程说明为偏远的社区大学校园提供。该项目将包括研究，开发，实施和评估的三年阶段。 重大贡献包括：1）完善现有的IRI系统，以提供开放式的教学/学习环境，并具有一组易于学生使用的基本功能和所有学科的教职员工； 2）开发新的教学方法的基本概念，以利用系统的交互性来支持更高的学习领域； 3）将致力于21世纪创新的教育方法的政府，行业和学术人员组成，4）为弗吉尼亚州提供一种具有成本效益的方法，以远程提供高质量的教育； 5）作为面临类似问题的其他州的模型。 拟议的开放硬件/软件体系结构使用现有技术，但预计在不久的将来，高速信息高速公路和多媒体工作站的可用性更广泛。该系统为远程站点提供双向视频； X窗口工具和应用程序的共享操作；交互式笔记；过去课程和辅助材料的类似VCR的重播以及一个可以显示讲师，教室演示或任何PC，Macintosh或X-Window应用程序的完整视频窗口。 这些在结构能力中使讲师和学生能够访问从各种来源生成的多媒体，并使用小组协作工具在两个参与者之间，小组或整个课程之间进行互动。该系统将提供视听互动，并允许教职员工和远程学生共享软件工具的操纵，例如电子表格或化学模型。尽管IRI的要素目前在技术上是可行的，但该项目的大部分努力却致力于开发以学生为中心的新教学方法和范式，这些方法和范式利用了环境，并通过实际的教学需求经验来完善硬件和软件。 该系统将为传统和非传统学生提供更容易获得高等教育的机会，他们出于个人或财务原因选择不居住在四年制的机构中。 IRI将为所有参与的学生和教职员工促进有效利用网络和计算机技术。
