Distance Learning Initiative (DLI) integrates computers, digital video, and the Internet to deliver graduate degree courses in engineering to students in companies distant from the Boston University campus. A key objective of the DLI is to support learning wherever it is most convenient, whether by groups in a classroom, at the workplace desk, or at home. This article describes our motivation, technology, and experiences in integrating a satellite-based digital video distance learning system coupled with Web technology.
412 268-7630 SEI JPO DD FORM 1473 83 APR EDITION OF 1 JAN 73 IS OBSOLETE. ,tt7.TMTITmVn IWJtrtT ACrT1 , The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) is a federally funded research and development center, operated by Carnegie Mellon University under contract with the United States Department of Defense.. The SEI Software Engineering Curriculum Project is developing a wide range of materials to support software engineering education. A curriculum module (CM) identifies and outlines the content of a specific topic area, and is intended to be used by an instructor in designing a course. A support materials package (SM) contains materials related to a module that may be helpful in teaching a course. An educational materials package (EM) contains other materials not necessarily related to a curriculum module. Other publications include software engineering curriculum recommendations and course designs. SEI 3ducational rr,.i!erials are being made available to educators throughout the academic, industrial, and government conmunities. The use of these materials in a course does not in any way constitute an endorsement of the course by the SEI, by Carnegie Mellon University, or by the United States government. Permission to make copies or derivative works of SEI curriculum modules, support materials, and educational materials is granted, without fee, provided that the copies and derivative works are not made or distributed for direct commercial advantage, and that all copies and derivative works cite the original document by name, author's name, and document number and give notice that the copying is by permission of Carnegie Mellon University.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
