Jon giving a lecture from a classroom in Islamabad to AIOU Regional Centers in Umerkot and DG Khan using web conferencing and a high speed interent connection carrying video and audio. Throughout the lecture, Jon asked questions and took responses from the very engaged students enrolled in the fledgling Bachelors in Computer Science program, providing an model of how to move from lecture only models of instruction to a highly interactive, technology assisted model. Once we work with our AIOU visitors in August, our plan is that they will be able to add online course materials to the mix as well through their Moodle learning management system.
