| contents | The Living Textbook: A Demonstration of Information on Demand Technologies in Education. Mills, Kim And Others Computer Networks Computer Uses in Education Educational Demand Elementary Secondary Education Information Technology Multimedia Materials Online Systems Pilot Projects Technology Transfer Trend Analysis A growing concern is that our nation is failing to provide a technology infrastructure for K-12 education that will enable graduates to compete in the information-based economy of the 21st century. The Living Textbook project is designed to deliver real-time, multimedia information on demand for use in classroom instruction. Three pilot schools in upstate New York and three in New York City have been linked by a wide area network with technology housed at Syracuse University's Northeast Parallel Architectures Center (NPAC). This paper outlines the project's view of a high-performance-computing-and-communications (HPCC) approach to delivering information on demand. It discusses trends in the capacity and speed of HPCC while also describing specific NPAC technologies like InfoMall, a state-funded program enabling technology transfer, and InfoVision, a suite of client/server information-on-demand applications. Short-term goals for the Living Textbook project include a video library searchable and available on-line, an interactive multimedia journey through New York State geography, telemedicine linking rural health care facilities with university hospital specialists, and related educational applications.
