Research of On-Line Collaboration Methods in Distance Learning Technology Development
The project addresses the methods of joint research and organization of distributed international workgroups based on contemporary on-line
technologies. The model is the collaboration of Ural State
University, Penn State University and North Carolina State University, in the
framework of its 1997-2000 "Collaboration in the Field of Distance Learning in
the Area of Business Management" project, supported by the US Dept. of State.
The project explores methods of remote collaboration via video- and
audio-data exchange (including video-over-IP, on the basis of MBone
and H.32x technologies). In 2001, Russia's Tyumen and Chelyabinsk state
universities plan to join the project.
