Online Education

Abstract

New technologies for distance Jearning through the Web, vídeo conferencing, collaborative working toais have the potential to enhance and extend learning. This requires a large leap for many institutions, teachers and students as well as an investment in technology and training. Many of those involved in graphics and visualization have in some way contributed to the development of the technologies being used and to their potential application use. These technologies have potential for widescale use at a time when there is pressure, at least in the UK, to widen access to higher education and to consider Iearning to be a life-long process.
