Technology Testing
     This part of the project reports on tests performed on baseline computer systems running various course delivery technologies to determine minimum configuration requirements of those technologies. Included in this assessment are technologies used in a variety of delivery strategies including CD ROM based materials, Hybrid Course sites that integrate CD ROM-based media, Web server based resources with embedded Flash objects and Web based sites that include streaming media resources. This work is currently in progress. The following link is to a technology testing worksheet being used by the testing team.
