Dear netters I am looking for ideas, pointers, discussions on the major issues for campus computing for the '90's. Any and all comment will be appreciated. Some points: computer literacy among non technical students use of CAI - has the fad died, will it come back to life? campus networking - is a mainframe part of the scenario? information systems - on line assistance to academics multimedia - how will it affect teaching? -- your favourite topic! Look forward to a lively discussion David -- David C Levy levy@bertha.ee.und.ac.za Dept of Electronic Eng m2xenix!quagga!levy%undeeb@uunet.uu.net University of Natal levy%bertha.ee.und.ac.za@saqqara.cis.ohio-state.edu King George V Ave levy.undeeb@f4.n494.z5.fidonet.org

Stand alone labs work well for most applications if the cost of main frame too expensive. I teach high school in a 21-station stand alone lab. Networks require maintenence.... > multimedia - how will it affect teaching?
