Teaching with Networked Hypermedia: A Demonstration

An increasing number of faculty members today are using Mosaic/WWW for
displaying course related multimedia information over the campus-wide
network. The network also offers new possibilities of distance
learning opportunities, such as directly including our alumni in the
Institute's educational enterprise.
However, to teach a course with the Internet as a partial means of
instruction delivery, we need to answer the following questions:
1. Can Mosaic/WWW be provided with the necessary pedagogical
guidance to deliver course material ?
2. Is it possible to deliver copyrighted documents on the Web
with the necessary security ?
3. Is it possible to compensate authors contributing the
copyrighted documents ?
4. How difficult is it for a course instructor to
deliver course material over the Internet?
5. What hardware and software do I need to use the Mosaic/WWW
environment?
To answer these questions, and many more, we are organizing a
demonstration of an integrated framework - the "MetaMosaic
Interface", developed under the "Mechanical Engineering Hypermedia
Project" - for designing, developing and deploying pedagogically
sound course instructions over the Internet.
We will also announce a short follow-up training course for MIT faculty
who wish to use the "MetaMosaic Interface" as part of their course
offering. For more information contact Dr. Sonwalkar at 258-8730 or send
email at nish@hyperweb.mit.edu. You can also browse our
