Testbed Projects Overview
The projects related to this grant, Haptic Audio
Visual Network for Education and Training, center around educational
events. Educational events are set-up in realistic environments that
link our servers and clients with remote servers, classrooms, hospitals,
and libraries around the world. These events are evaluated both for
educational content and technical performance. Each testbed focuses
on applications that challenge networks in unique ways. The testbeds
provide opportunities for testing the core system on local, national,
and global networks.
Application Development
The applications we are focusing on provide us
with the ability to teach interactively with innovative educational
technologies within a medical curriculum.
End to End Performance
During the educational events we assess the end
to end performance of the network in order to understand more about
the applications under real network conditions.
Teaching and Learning Evaluation
We also want to understand the value of the applications
to the individual user--both the student and the teacher. In addition
it is equally important to assess the value of the technologies and
the applications in their social, biomedical and technologicals contexts.
