Unfortunately, the software we used in class when we did the brainstorming group did not save my notes as it said it would.  I've reconstructed some of the ideas from memory, and reworked them a bit based on my needs as the "client" (representing the faculty or the institution).  Today we will work on elaborating them and building on them.  We can also add ideas that I may have forgotten, or from other sources.
What we need now are more specifics.  For example, what experts would we interact with in online courses linked to other universities or organizations?  What foreign countries or external organizations would we want to relate to?  What might the summer session offer?  Or the Winterm?  How might this apply to general requirements, to the Sociology/Anthro/CJ department, etc.

•  Some campuses are offering courses with a computer at every seat.  Is this a good idea?  What could be done with this?  :  Clinton Says All Classrooms Will Be Wired by 2000
• A billionarie plans an online university with free courses.  An article critical of this trend, calling it a regressive trend, towards the rather old era of mass-production, standardization and purely commercial  interests. A report on a year long seminar at the University of Illinois on Distance Teaching with the Internet.  A lot of places are trying purely online courses.  Universities pile on e-commerce courses.
• Provide opportunities for interaction with people in different countries, or different parts of this country, or people working in different organizations or involved in different activities.  Courses with interactive links to people off campus.  This could involve use of the distance learning classroom as well as the Internet.  What courses would this apply best to?A new project for cross-border education.
• facilitate taking courses on a number of Rutgers campuses, perhaps with a common set of graduation requirements.  This raises the question of the whole regional organization of Rutgers - should it be rethought? This raises very difficult turf problems - we seem unable to even revise the Rutgers-Camden curriculum, let alone university wide.  Perhaps a university-wide "University College" could be revived?
• offer courses online without any need to attend in person at all, or perhaps come in only for exams.  Another option would be classes that meet once a week for discussion sections, with lectures being offered online.
• opportunity to take courses with distinguished experts at leading Universities.  Possibly interaction with distinguished experts could be combined with a class.  Could we have reciprocal arrangements with other universities, i.e., a Rutgers students could register for a course at another university as one of his/her courses.  This could be anywhere.  Rutgers could facilitate this by offering the exams here.  Joint classes with other universities seems like an interesting possibility.  Of course, the universities that employ these world-famous experts may not be so eager to share there time with us.  What topics or experts might be particularly interesting.
• Summer and Winterim courses - how do the needs differ?  How do we market to people who are not regular Rutgers students?  Should the patterns differ?  What kinds of courses would be particularly attractive?
• Textbooks and reading materials online, either as a convenience or as a money saver.  Do students really want this, or is a book actually more convenient?  Books can also be purchased online, perhaps providing better prices.  There are copyright problems here, of course.The Book Bag of the Future:  Buy Four Years' Worth of Texts on one Disk.
• Should essay tests be written on a computer instead of by pencil?  How about a computer to grade essays?
• Do we need to do more with teaching specific Internet skills, such as Internet marketing?  Internet Skills a Must for Corporate Jobs Today.  Are there analogous skills in every field?
• Abuse of email at colleges.  Does new technology create as many problems as it solves?  Teachers sue student over WEB defamation. A Catholic school student sues because he was expelled because material on his WEB site.
• Uses of streaming Video.  Rutgers is spending a fortune to get this technology, without much idea of how it can be used.
