I think Muhammad in discussing the VISION project is pointing in the right
direction. Good online courses emphasize increased interaction thus
distinguishing themselves online courses from correspondence courses.
the missing element so far has been the distributing high end multimedia
instruction over the web. There is so much more one can do to immerse
students in learning by using the multimedia capabilities of CBT. Bandwidth
issues have hindered pushing large multimedia files over the web. But the
bandwidth limitations won't last long. Imagine if you could combine the
features of multimedia CBT with virtual reality with the best of Electronic
Performance Support Systems. Augmented Reality is one name for it. Here is
an example: Imagine a virtual reality wizard that can coach a learner
through a lab experiment with the same level of guidance an instructor could
provide.
