Wouldn't it be great if students could switch on the television and see
their University feeding down course related information to them, even
receiving lectures from that day, the ones that they just happened to miss
because their washing machine blew up (or some other lecture dodging
excuse).
I think that the whole subject of education making use of emerging
technologies needs to be discussed at great length, because if we don't then
you can guarantee that the private sector will be doing so and they will be
wasting no time when they realise the full potential.
I think that this list in particular, website management, needs to assess
how long it might be before we need to consider any issues and do the
necessaries to implement it i.e. providing our current web information in a
number of different formats.

Subject: Internet TV
Gregg's question on WAP prompted me to ask some other questions related to
broadening access.
Is anyone planning/using internet delivery to TVs for (higher) educational
purposes? If so, why? If not, why not?
Thanks.
Duncan
