| This paper addresses the Semi-virtual
Multidimensional Distance Learning System (SMDL), which is a
technical, pedagogical, and organisational prototype-structure of
a semi-virtual university. SDML includes both synchronous and
asynchronous learning modes. During the initial stage of our
project, we regularly transmitted a lecture from a specially
equipped lecture room in one university to an equally equipped
lecture room in another university using ATM technology. The
project is evaluated with consideration to technical and
pedagogical issues. A variety of technical problems could be
addressed during the regular transmission of the lecture for the
course of a semester. Empirical data suggested that the remote
students were appreciating the new technologies, whereas the
local students seemed to be somewhat sceptical. Moreover, the
organisational problems in setting up a semi-virtual university
seem to be vastly underestimated in comparison to the technical
issues. |
