SUMMARY OF FUNDED PROJECTS
COURSE SHARING USING DISTANCE TECHNOLOGIES
Delivery of Introduction to Winemaking via Distance Learning: UCD and UCSC.
This project involves using distance learning technologies to offer UCD course Introduction to Winemaking
to students at UCD and UCSC. Faculty from both campuses have been collaborating on modifying various aspects of
the course for delivery to two campuses. The modifications pertain to transmission sites, scheduling, communications,
and testing. The laboratory component of the course consists of a sensory workshop and a winery tour. For these
sessions of the course, UCD students have their workshop and tour in Davis; UCD faculty travel to Santa Cruz to
conduct the workshop and tour there. Communications are facilitated through the use of live audio for the course
sessions, enhanced e-mail capacity, customized features in the Remote TA for student/instructor office hours, Web
sites for course materials, and on-line testing using the Web (see on-line testing by UCSC Chemistry Department
at http:/www.chemistry.ucsc.edu). IAPIF award for 1997-98: $6,734.

Informal Instruction Over the Internet Using a Shared Graphics Tablets: UCSF and UCB.
The UCSF/UCB Bioengineering Graduate Group, composed of 100 faculty and 52 selected graduate students across the
two campuses, have been conducting a demonstration project using a shared computer graphic interface via interactive
graphic tablets. This electronic scratchpad allows participants to interact in real time sharing the same information
(diagrams, equations, figures, and drawings) with the capacity to make modifications to the materials. The intent
is to mimic the group environment of workshops and small group discussions. The Bioengineering Graduate Group is
testing the utility of this interactive whiteboard as a tool for intercampus instruction and as an aid in curricular
planning for expanding the Bioengineering programs at UCB and UCSF. IAPIF award for 1997-98: $5,906.

Participating faculty: Carole Goldberg-Ambrose, School of Law, UCLA
Intensive Introductory Greek via Video Teleconferencing: UCB and UCD. Greek 10 was taught
via video teleconference originating from UCD and transmitted to UCB in spring 1996. This language course has been
regularly offered at UCB but it is a new course for UCD. Because Greek 10 used the Remote Technical Assistance
(RTA) software developed at Davis, the telecourse originated from that campus. The course content was compressed
into 16 weeks converting a year-long course to match the semester calendar at UCB. This course is among the first
language courses to use RTA. IAPIF award for 1995-96: $2,500.

A 3 Campus/5 Site Experiment in Distance Learning, Spring 1995: UCB, UCD, UCSC. This
project was an experiment in using distance learning at UCB, UCD, and UCSC for these campuses to share courses
in digital engineering beginning in 1995-96. LLNL and UCD's remote site at LLNL participated. Three existing courses
were offered so that faculty could concentrate on careful preparation of visuals and assignments, logistics, and
pedagogical problems that arise in connection with distance learning. Some of the technologies used included two-way
video, audio interactivity, the intercampus telecommunication network, and Internet. Experiments were conducted
at the five sites to create virtual classrooms where all students and faculty were able to see each other at all
times through a projection system and for them to interact freely by speaking as in a conventional classroom. IAPIF
award for 1994-95: $10,000.

Intercampus Course on the Academic Use of Internet: UCB. UCB faculty worked with faculty
from all 9 campuses to develop a course on the uses of Internet as a resource for academic learning and scholarly
research. The course would be modeled after one offered at UCB. Faculty from diverse fields would contribute materials
to the universitywide Internet course and they would assist students by e-mail. Students would participate in a
common Internet newsgroup. Students could enroll in the course from any campus. The plan was to offer the course
year-round so that students could begin and complete the course at any time. IAPIF award for 1994-95: $2,500.
