Global Lecture Hall from ICEM conference in Orlando, Florida, 12-13 October 1992


ANNOUNCEMENT

Demonstration of a "Global Lecture Hall"
with Multipoint-to-Multipoint Multimedia Interactive Teleconferencing Technology

Panel Discussion Theme:
"Global Education in the 21st Century: Design and Delivery"
at The Annual International Conference of the
International Council for Educational Media (ICEM)
University of Central Florida
Orlando, Florida, USA
October 12 and 13, 1992


The objective of this program is to present ongoing programs, discuss the tools and mechanisms in use, and discover any technical, regulatory, economic, and marketing hindrances to the creation of a Global University. At the same time we hope to promote the awareness of the possibilities of international electronic exchange of education services with the use of inexpensive telecommunications media.

The dates and times are:


The demonstration will include an uplinking to domestic and international satellites, combined with audio and slow-scan (or freeze frame) TV conferencing, global computer conferencing as well as facsimile use for interactive question-and-answer exchanges.

When native language (say, Japanese) is used for a question, the ICEM member of the country (Japan) will translate it into English which will then be broadcast via satellite, thus encouraging the use of native language yet making the proceedings comprehesnible to all.

Please disseminate this information widely in your country and region to solicit participation of educational, industrial, research and governmental organizations. Those wishing to participate should fill the enclosed questionnaire and send it back to Takeshi Utsumi, copy to Richard Cornell (see address below) at the earliest possible convenience -- preferably via email, telex or facsimile.

ICEM was created in 1950 and is a non-profit non-governmental organization which has consultative Status A with UNESCO through the International Council for Film and Television. There are presently over thirty nations who belong to ICEM. Each participating nation is represented in ICEM through a designated member. In most instances, this individual is affiliated with their nation's Ministry of Education and is responsible for educational technology programs within their country.

The United States of America has neither a "Ministry of Education" nor does it any longer participate in UNESCO activities. Therefore, the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) nominates an individual who represents the United States' interests within ICEM. The U.S. member to ICEM is Dr. Richard Cornell.

The above GLH events will be held at the occasion of the ICEM Symposium on "Design and Delivery of a 21st Century Technology Base for Today's Learners: International Implications". The choice of the theme reflects the concern with the disparity between the advanced technologies being used by developed nations and the very basic ones needed by the lesser developed.

"Global Lecture Hall" (GLH) and "Global University" are trade marks of GLOSAS/USA. The latter is in the process of securing support for the event from GE American Communications, Inc. and their global communications network.
