Multi-campus teaching using computer networks

Abstract

This paper describes a joint project between hlassey and li7izilufo Universities to investigate the potential of ATM in providing telepresence in distance education situations. In 1997, Massey and W’aikato, offered a graduate level paper jointly between the two campuses. Teaching on this course in advanced computer architecture was delivered in bodl qnchromm and aryzch.ronous modes, with some lectures being recorded at Massey and sen~ed m the web via the ATM network to Waikuto, and other lectures being delivered live across the A1’M network using iWPEG hardware compression cards. The course was well accepted despite the non-comentiocal presentation techniques
