Multi-campus teaching using computer networks

This paper describes a joint project between Massey and Waikato Universities to investigate the potential of ATM in providing telepresence in distance education situations. In 1997, Massey and Waikato, offered a graduate level paper jointly between the two campuses. Teaching on this course in advanced computer architecture was delivered in both synchronous and asynchronous modes, with some lectures being recorded at Massey and served on the web via the ATM network to Waikato, and other lectures being delivered live across the ATM network using MJPEG hardware compression cards. The course was well accepted despite the non-conventional presentation techniques.
