Dear Murray:

(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).

(2) I agree with you that we do not prefer the type of replicating class-room teaching nor broadcasting type of teaching, though it might be all right once or twice at the beginning of semester.

This means that we propose to have intimate interactions and contacts between and among instructors and students.

(3) Although we cherish your accustomed and familiarized teaching modalities, pls take a look of WebEx in ATTACHMENT II.

It has features for PowerPoint, video, chatting, in addition to an audio conferencing — it can also record their proceedings for later download and use.

I strongly suggest that you would try it with its free trial.

Dear Erdogan:

Pls try from your end in Ankara, Turkey, too, and let me know its results.  Thanks.


(4) My vision is to let your students have this system on their laptop with WiFi connection so that they can access to it for their daily learning at any places, say, a bus stop, street-corner, etc., in addition to their access to it at their school campus or home.

Best, Tak

Subject: Re: Turkey

tak normally we teach asynchronously and that cost includes the use of
either webboard or moodle for that purpose  at njit,   the students
would be using that system at njit through the web.,  i record
lectures on audio mp3 files the studnets can use with my powerpoints
they can listen to anytime.
i can accept skype form students that wnat to talk to me via audio or
they can message me any time with questions or such they do not want
to share with the class.   i owuld not be doing large scalep video
normally but if they want some initial lecture and have the facilities
i am agreeable, but it is not the noraml way for all the lectures.
