Lisa Neal, EDS, USA

Benefits
Learn what technologies are currently being used for distance learning, and how to select and deploy them. Also gain insight into fundamentals of how to design and deliver effective distance learning classes.

Origins
First given at CHI 98, and updated for CHI 99.

Features

  • motivations for distance learning
  • technologies for supporting asynchronous distance learning, including email and threaded discussions
  • technologies for supporting synchronous distance learning, including audioconferencing, videoconferencing, data conferencing, chats, and electronic whiteboards
  • combining synchronous and asynchronous distance learning technologies
  • selection, deployment, and use of distance learning technologies
  • how to structure and deliver a distance learning class
  • distance learning to deliver HCI education
  • case studies including Open University, DigitalThink, University of Phoenix, New School for Social Research, United Nations, California Virtual University, Western Governor's University, and EDS

Audience
Educators interested in developing and delivering distance learning classes and managers and administrators interested in setting up distance learning programs. Experience with course development or teaching useful. No experience with collaborative technologies necessary.

Presentation
Lecture, discussion, videos, and case studies.

Instructor
Lisa Neal holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Harvard University and has been working with collaborative technologies for eight years at EDS. She piloted a distance learning program at EDS and has been teaching distance learning classes on HCI and Collaborative Technologies for four years. She has authored several articles on distance learning.
