  5. NCEC A network-based collaborative environment for tutoring, teaching, conferencing and providing feedback to learners

  6. OBJECTIVES • Develop an integrated set of tools for cost-effective production of courseware. • Develop a set of learning experiments • Contribute to and aim at making use of the results of parallel international projects.

  7. OBJECTIVES • Deliver a set of pilot courses including training of trainers within the network-based learning environment. • Implementing a pilot of the network-based collaborative environment for tutoring, teaching, conferencing and providing feedback to the learners

  8. Learning needs preferences, constraints, profiles Course & Process specification “Training Broker” CUSTOMERS SUPPLIERS Learning Environment & Support Tools Production & Delivery Methodology & Systems Presentation Delivery Production Training support services (assessment, certification) Learning resource repositories BASIC DELIVERY PLATFORMS (Internet, intranets, extranets,…, digital TV, …) COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE (fixed telecomms networks, mobile network, satellite, ...) by Matti Hämäläinen A framework for customer driven training

  9. Developing Internet-Based Education and Training in China

  10. Top ISPs in China • China Education and Research Network • CERNET - Ministry of Education • China Science and Technology Network • CSTNET - China Academy of Sciences(CAS) • China Network • CHINANET - China Telecom • China Golden Bridge Network • CHINAGBN -Jitong Company

  11. Properties of CERNET • One of the academic networks in China The first nation-wide network funded by the Government • Objective of CERNET Link to all the universities ( 1000+ ) and lots of schools Link to Global Internet Link to other networks in China An important base for training high level specialists An important part of National Information Infrastructure

  12. Topology of CERNET Backbone (1997)

  13. Internetworking with Other Networks in China • CERNET-CSTNET 10Mbps Optical Fibre • CERNET-CHINANET 2Mbps DDN Lease Line • CERNET-CHINAGBN 512kbps Microwave • CERNET-HARNET(Hong Kong) 64kbps DDN Lease Line

  14. CERNET in 2000 • Upgrade transmission rate • Backbone: 155Mbps • Set up 8 regional networks (33 nodes) • Connect 1000 universities and institutes • Link to 1000 schools with campus network • Develop rich Chinese resources and applications
