DePaul CTI approaches education differently

The School of Computer Science, Telecommunications, & Information Systems at DePaul university has an interesting approach to in classroom and distance education; it is called Course OnLine (COL) or the Distance Learning Web. The interface which is only available to CTI students is much better than the Blackboard technology that all other departments use to provide online content to students. COL has a very userfirendly interface that allows the student to choose what to view and also provides a place for audio and video of all lectures to be posted about 2 hours after class. There are also cameras on the desk that allow the professor to show students what is on the desk that cannot be projected on to a screen. The screen is also recorded so the student has access to the slides shown in class. The whiteboard also has semsors that record everything that is written on the surface so we have access to the discussion notes after class. These are the features that make it better than Blackboard.Now like Blackboard you can post syllabi, documents and notes, there is a chat/discussion forum, and a way to contact classmates and the professor. The professor can also post supplemental links.
