What is Purdue-On-Line (POL) today? MS I n Research project trying to address the following issues: • Design and prototype an environment for on-line instruction on stationary and mobile platforms • Research teaching methodologies for on-line instruction • Experiment with a set of traditional courses • Evaluate courseware delivery models/software and on-line courses • Evaluate video servers (hardware/software), videoconferencing, and communication technologies • Assess the overall cost and impact of on-line education • Educate faculty 4

Who supports this effort? MS I Primarily Intel Corporation and Purdue University n AT&T and IBM provided equipment support n International collaboration (Univ. of Crete, Greece) n 5
