KNOWLEDGE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES
Brazil, Columbia, and Venezuela are collaborating on an
Internet-based education program to provide math and science
software to their secondary schools. The programs will be
developed in modules of curriculum by teams from each country,
posted on the Web, and critiqued by the other teams. The
International Virtual Education Network program is funded in part
by the Inter-American Development Bank and will be designed to
take advantage of the benefits of technology and the Internet.
Brazilian physics professor Cesar Nunes, an advisor for the
program, says the simulation focus of the curriculum will help
motivate students to learn. Because the Internet infrastructure
of these countries is somewhat underdeveloped, versions of
browser software and proxy servers will be installed in schools
without good Internet connections so that classrooms can run the
programs from CD-ROMs. Altogether, the trans-national curriculum
will cost the countries $5 million and has already caught the
interest of Argentina, Peru, and African nations.
