Summary: Hint for the University toward the Future
Review: This title gives informative survay and forcast on the university toward the future.
Global and virtual are the keywords of the university.
By reviewing current universities in the world,this book forcasts that everybody,young and old,men and women, can join any class and take any professor's class through the communication networks as their avatars as if they were gathered at the same place.
The authors predicate that the class in the future will be constructed based on HyperReality.HyperReality is a very attractive and strong concept which will provide the communication means between the real peopla and the virtual people.
The virtual people means avatars and/or computer agents.the avatar is a one to one corespondence to its real people.
The avatar's motion is controlled by its real human motion.
Then in HyperReality,people,real and virtual, interact together.
Through Hyperreality,people who are at different locations are brought together through the communication networks and hold a class as if they were gathered at the same place.
It is very attractive and informative.
I recommend everybody who is interested in the university in the future to read this title strongly.
