Columbia Video Network Advances into Next Generation of Distance Learning - Joseph Kennedy

Students at Columbia Video Network (CVN), the highly rated distance learning program at the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, now have the option of fully downloadable course lectures. After six months of beta testing, CVN launched the new format for the Summer 2003 semester, becoming one of the first such programs to offer this breakthrough in distance learning technology. "We developed downloadable lectures to further CVN's mantra of 'anytime, anywhere' untethered access," says Grace Chung, executive director of CVN. "The majority of CVN students are working professionals, and their job responsibilities can take them away from home for extended periods of time. They may not always have broadband access in remote hotels and office locations."
