change note: 2013-06-23 22:40:16.0 [sgrebas] update Definition (The Andes Project ANDES project is developing advanced technology to support distance education. Development of ANDES is funded by the Annenberg Center for Communications at USC. The ANDES system allows students to take courses at home, while accessing educational resources on the Internet and engaging in teleconferences with teachers and other students. The system will seamlessly integrate net-based and CD-ROM-based educational resources. This project will show that distance education can be delivered effectively in a computer-based mode, in contrast to conventional techniques which rely heavily on video broadcasts of lectures. The goal of this work is to demonstrate the kinds of distance education techniques that will be available once high-speed Internet connections are commonplace. By storing resources on the student's local machine, we can dramatically increase the perceived throughput of the system. We intend to use this system as a vehicle for collaborative education and pedagogical agent technologies.
