What is Purdue-On-Line (POL) today? Purdue MSI Proposal May 5, 1999 What is Purdue-On-Line (POL) today? Research project trying to address the following issues: Design and prototype an environment for on-line instruction on stationary and mobile platforms Research teaching methodologies for on-line instruction Experiment with a set of traditional courses Evaluate courseware delivery models/software and on-line courses Evaluate video servers (hardware/software), videoconferencing, and communication technologies Assess the overall cost and impact of on-line education Educate faculty What is POL? at the moment the state-of-the art on on-line instruction is still at the research level. It's true that you can find some courses offered in some on-line form but in my opinion they are at a primitive stage. POL is a research project that tries a) to indentify the specifications of an on-line instruction environment, evaluate existing and announced technologies for implementing it, develop a prototype environment for experimentation, b) research teaching methodologies for on-line instruction by transforming some existing courses and evaluate them. c) Evaluate commercial and research courseware for delivery on-line courses. Already there are several in the market. d) evaluate video servers and communication hardware e) assess the overall cost and impact of on line education 12/26/2018 MSI: Infrastructure Organization Title of Talk
