چکیده
Although distance education has been around for decades, for many, it is just now becoming a serious alternative to the traditional college/university approach to education. Due to the rapid improvements in technology, and the present changes in the student population, more and more institutions of higher learning are considering implementing a distance education program. This article discusses the distance learning program that at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. The program has just finished its first year, and there have been successes and failures. Both will be discussed, with some suggestions for existing distance education programs and for those institutions thinking about implementing a distance education curriculum. A variety of distance programs will be discussed and a model of course effectiveness presented for testing in the distance education environment. We learned that there are many challenges to implementing such a program and technology is just one of

Pap1+ confers microtubule damage resistance to mut2a, an extragenic suppressor of the rad26:4A allele in S. pombe.
The DNA structure checkpoint protein Rad26ATRIP is also required for an interphase microtubule damage response. This checkpoint delays spindle pole body separation and entry into mitosis following treatment of cells with microtubule poisons. This checkpoint requires cytoplasmic Rad26ATRIP, which is compromised by the rad26:4A allele that inhibits cytoplasmic accum...

Extracting and tracking active objects are two major issues in surveillance and monitoring applications such as nuclear reactors, mine security, and traffic controllers. In this paper, a block-based similarity algorithm is proposed in order to detect and track objects in the successive frames. We define similarity and cost functions based on the features of the blocks, leading to less computati...
