Mark Whitman's comments about the Smith and Jones Exploring Chemistry
package, with laser videodisk, bring the following: we have just installed
it on a PS/2 90 and will demonstrate it to Chemistry faculty next Wednesday.
It is marketed by Falcon SW, Inc., POBox 200, Wentworth, NH 03282
(603 764 5788).          Ted Mills <tmills@uconnvm.uconn.edu>

Subject:      Videodisc and the PC

Wayne Debly responds to the request for simple/cheap laserdisc
control software for PC?

>How cheap and simple do you want it?

That is always a key question.

>Do you want the lazer disk output to be put on your computer screen?
>   If yes then you will need a video card e.g.  DVI4000 for $3000
>  or if you have a micro channel then M-Motion Card  $2000??

Fortunately, technology is improving as prices are coming down.
The "SCHOOLBOARD" Multimedia Video Adapter sells for $876.  This
overlay board emulates the IBM M Motion Adapter A Board.
IBM's is designed for microchannel while the SCHOOLBOARD runs on
the AT bus.  It was designed so one could run microchannel software,
such as Smith and Jones' Comprehensive Chemistry Curriculum, a four
videodisc set, on a clone.
I haven't installed it yet and will report later on how it works.

Would appreciate communicating with anyone else with the SCHOOLBOARD.

Falcon software markets the board at:

Ff you want to go real cheap, get the Apple out and use "Tutor-Tech 2.7"
at $195 from Techware, 1-800-34-REACH or International 1-407-695-9000.
It's like Hypercard.

We are using QUEST (Allen Communications) but it is not cheap, but it
is versatile!!!

Free Enterprise is great.  There's a product for every niche.

Preparing individuals for productive work and a   high quality of life in
today's society is a complex  challenge for schools and corporations. To meet
this challenge, Northwestern University has established a unique Ph.D. program
in the Learning Sciences. Its purpose is to advance the research and
development of innovative educational structures and technologies.

Research in the Learning Sciences is aimed at creating environments that offer
all students a rich variety of opportunities for learning to think effectively,
both within and outside of formal learning settings. Graduate student and
faculty research efforts are supported by a multimedia, networked computing
infrastructure and an unusual commitment to developing technologies that
function effectively within their intended settings.

The Learning Sciences is a synthesis of computational and social science
disciplines including artificial intelligence, cognitive and developmental
psychology, educational research, linguistics, computer science, anthropology
and fields that develop strategies for teaching complex subject matter.

Through research, field work and apprenticeships, the Ph.D. program will
prepare its graduates to assume leadership roles in advancing the scientific
understanding and systematic practices of learning and teaching.

Students are eligible for competitively-awarded multi-year funding. To qualify
for financial aid, candidates should apply by January 15, 1992. Applications
received after that date may be  considered. Individuals with relevant teaching
experience or a strong academic  background in a field related to the Learning
Sciences are encouraged to apply. For  application materials or for further
information, contact:

Subject:      Simple/cheap laserdisc control software for PC?

Our school recently purchased its first laser disc player (welcome to
the 1980s). I would like to get a faculty member involved in a very
*simple* project to create some classroom presentations under the
control of an IBM or compatible, non-Windows PC.

The player came with some barcoding software but I would like something
with a little more scripting capability (although not much for now).
Money is an object, as is ease of use. Growth capability would be nice,
but not if it gets in the way of *simple*.

Any recommendations out there?

Hi David,
One of the best planning guides re: integration of technology into K-12
schools is published by Apple Computer.  The title is Teaching, Learning
and Technology:  A Planning Guide.  It is an interactive multimedia kit
that contains three case studies, a step-by-step guide to planning that starts
with "Evnisioning the Future" and ends with "Evaluating and Adjusting" the
program.  Each section is liberally populated with templates and examples.
Finally, there is an extensive futures oriented reference list for those
teachers and administrators who want to continue on in their study of
how to integrate technology into the classroom.  The kit is available from
Intellimation, P.O. Box 1922, Santa Barbara, CA 93116-1922.  Telephone:
805-986-2291  1-800-443-6633  Fax 805-685-9685.  The cost was about $200.00.

Richard:

In response to your question about whether I asked "students of faculty who
arenot using computers in teaching"? I did not because my study is not about
faculty who are not using computers (because I'm not interested in asking them
why they are not using computers). My study is about faculty who are using
computers,
how' they specifically use computers in teaching and their perceptions of the
impact of their particular usage on their teaching, their students' learning
and the kinds of interaction such usage promote. The reason for asking the
students is to see if their is a similarity in students and faculty'
perceptions of the impact of faculty's particular computer usage. And to see
if we can gain an insight into how best to use computers for teaching from
students' perspectives. /Remi.

Subject:      Re: Education & Virtual Reality

Ian,

You appear to be viewing education only in the sense of the present.  Virtual
Reality is a tool for education for the future.  Obviously, we need advocates
for change for both the present and the future, but what we don't need are
for these advocates to be slashing one another.

Presently, most education is teacher-centered, and we need to find ways to
make this environment more efficient &  effective.  I think you are right that
VR has only minimal application in such an environment.  However, education is
in a transition from teacher-centered to student-centered instruction, and VR
holds great promise for this future environment.  Teachers have traditionally
been the bridge between students and knowledge, but they are in many instances
becoming increasingly more like barriers, as their presence holds back many
students who can learn more by being placed directly in contact with
experiences and knowledge such as can be conveyed through VR.  This is not to
say that teachers are about to be replaced, but their roles are slowly being
redefined from that of source to mentor.

To not recognize the potential of technologies such as VR is to remain
dangerously short-sighted, but to force VR into schools before they are
ready can cause one to be needlessly wreckless.

Subject:      NFS links from RS6000 server to SGI client

        I am posting this for a colleague:

        I recently set up my RS6000/320 to act as an nfs server to a client
        on an Silicon Graphics 4D/35.  Through an unusual set of circumstances
        I found that files that were compressed and then uncompressed were
        changed very slightly.  The files gradually grew with each compress
        and uncompress.  Not only that, but the 'sum' command run a number
        of times on an nfs mounted file produced a different figure almost
        every time.  This problem only happens between the RS6000 and SGI.

        The IBM support center said I should mount the nfs filesystem with
        rsize and wsize set to 512 and it would be okay.  This I did, and it
        was okay.

        My concerns are these:
        .       with a reduced r and wsize will the network performance reduced.
        .       I got no indication of any error for other buffer sizes, and
                found out only by accident that there was a severe problem. Can
                I be sure that I have data integrity at 512 bytes?
        .       Are there any ptf's that address this problem?
        .       Is nfs viable when used between an RS6000 and other
                manufacturers machines?
        .       Does the AIX NFS server run with udp checksumming on by
                default? If not how is it turned on?
        .       Does the IRIX NFS client run with udp checksumming on
                by default? If not, how is it turned on?

        OS versions:

        RS6000 server is running AIX 3.2
        SGI    client is running IRIX 4.0.5 06151813 (output from uname -a)


        Any input will be greatly appreciated.

get CICS transaction security to operate for CICS transactions
that are written in CSP, and are called from other transactions.
We have RACF, but it doesn't prevent an unauthorized person from
selecting a menu option that he/she's not allowed to do, for instance.
Any info on this problem would be appreciated.  Thanks.
