Purdue University and Indiana University teamed up during the fall of
2003 to teach a class called “Introduction to Virtual Environments”,
taught jointly by Laura Arns, Ph.D. (Envision Center, ITaP, and
Computer Graphics Technology Department, School of Technology, Purdue
University) and Eric Wernert, Ph.D. (UITS Advanced Visualization Lab
and IU School of Informatics, Indiana University).
This class taught students to program the advanced visualization
environments available at each university, resulting in an excellent
learning experience for all students. This collaborative teaching
effort also achieved economices of scale for the two universities, as
each had been teaching similar classes – independently – prior to this
class.
The photos shown below show teleconference rooms in use in Bloomington
and West Lafayette, Indiana, while the class is being taught.
