Re ections on Three Years of Network-Based Distance Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the last three years, the Northeast Parallel Architectures Center at Syracuse University, together with Jackson State University and a number of other academic and DoD partners have conducted a pilot project in distance education, using networkbased TANGO Interactive collaboration tool to deliver semester-long academic credit courses in a synchronous (real-time) fashion. This report summarizes the nal year of this highly successful e ort and looks back over the entire project to draw out new observations and lessons which have not been captured in previous reports on this work.

Morphological surface profile extraction with multiple range sensors
A novel method is described for surface pro"le extraction based on morphological processing of multiple range sensor data. The approach taken is extremely #exible and robust, in addition to being simple and straightforward. It can deal with arbitrary numbers and con"gurations of sensors as well as synthetic arrays. The method has the intrinsic ability to suppress spurious readings, crosstalk, a...
متن کاملThree Properties of the Symmedian Point / Darij Grinberg 1. on Isogonal Conjugates
Fig. 1 The de nition of isogonal conjugates is based on the following theorem (Fig. 1): Theorem 1. Let ABC be a triangle and P a point in its plane. Then, the reections of the lines AP; BP; CP in the angle bisectors of the angles CAB; ABC; BCA concur at one point. This point is called the isogonal conjugate of the point P with respect to triangle ABC: We denote this point by Q: Note that we wo...
متن کاملDistance Education in the Digital Era and Connectivism Theory
Background: With the arrival of the industrial Century, the educational system changed and different forms of education, including distance Education were created. Firstly, distance education based on traditional learning theories, but because that these theories are not able to respond and solve the challenges facing the education system in the modern century connectivism theory was creat...

This paper describes a bidirectional Monte Carlo ray tracing method simu lating global illumination in models containing complex objects that do not have to be tessellated The two pass method combines a rst pass light ray tracing ray casting with a second pass optimized Monte Carlo ray tracing In the rst pass the light emitted from the light sources hit objects in the scene and may be re ected ...
متن کاملRe ections on modelling a sonar range sensor
With the advent of inexpensive o -the-shelf sonar ranging units sonar has become a common sensor on mobile robotic platforms. Many di erent algorithms have been proposed to obtain environmental layout and other structural information by integrating sonar measurements from multiple positions and/or sensors. Given perfect distance measurements and telemetry, this integration can be fairly simple....
