Research staff at NCSA have been offering classes to students on-site as well as online through our emerging distributed learning environment. This environment includes the NCSA developed netLearningPlace, desktop videoconferencing over the Internet, live and archived streamed video, and LAN based Picturetel videoconferencing. All of these technologies will be demonstrated during a live class session. Information about the technology as well as the courses are available to EOT/PACI partners.

Online delivery of training is a critical issue to all of our partners, especially in the face of the growing shortage of IT workers. Our UIUC courses are available to our EOT/PACI partners, and we are interested in partnering with our partners for more prototype environments.

The demonstration will be during a live class. For this demonstration we plan to set up a H.323 connection between ACCESS and NCSA's PC lab. So we will need that set up in addition to a networked computer. Alaina will make a presentation and talk with ACCESS visitors through the Picturetel connection. IN addition, the computer will be running NetMeeting, Media PLayer and will display the nLP through IE. Alaina will use NetMeeting to share applications during her presentation. Then Jennie will open the nLP and show the visitors they two ways in which they can participate in our classes/workshops. Through the Media Player on their desktop, or through Picturetel at ACCESS.
