Education participated in a session on the use of
self-paced online instruction in real (brick & mortar)
schools. We presented an historical perspective on the
various forms of instruction from about the time of the
Protestant Reformation. We are particularly interested in
the topics of:
1. Tutoring
2. Age Based Group Instruction
3. Social Promotion
4. Self Pacing Methods
5. Distance Education Via Television
Two PowerPoint files (one of the actual presentation and
the other of a longer speech) can be downloaded by

here.
If you want to have a "time machine" experience with regard
to Distance Education, check out the video clips below that
show how it was accomplished more than half a century ago.
Long & Short
Versions
The actual presentation in Chicago used the "Short" version
of the PowerPoint. A "Long" presentation is also included
here and is intended for audiences seeking more
information.
Most Browsers Can't Run
Video Clips From PowerPoint, So....
With
luck viewers of this website will be able to watch the
video clips from within the web-based PowerPoint files, but
most will not. The four video clips used by the PowerPoint
files are provided here for your direct viewing. Click in
the following list to see the clips:
A. Play the Full 25 Minute
Clip (if you
have the time, it's worth it)
B. Play the 3 Min Clip
Heat Conduction
C. Play the 3 Min Clip
Heat Convection
D. Play the 3 Min Clip
Heat Radiation
Perhaps due to our lack of expertise in Web engineering, we
have found that only the most robust browsers are capable
of running the PowerPoint embedded video clips. An older
version of Internet Explorer for the Mac runs it correctly.
The video lecture clip on each page of the PowerPoint
lecturettes is launched by double clicking (or single
clicking) in the graphic/picture window. For those who
can't run the video clips in the Web based PowerPoint you
can alternatively download the PowerPoint
file and its
associated .mp4 video clip files and then run the
lecturettes or presentations locally.
