Generalized Electronic Learning Group

G.E.L.

This wide disciplinary research group seeks to utilize the latest advances in multi-media, world-wide-web, network PCs/chips (processors) and script languages, such as PERL, JAVA and Visual Basic to explore computer mediated communication/data delivery for electronic learning, for the e-Commerce marketplace and for most self-directed human/computer interaction. The main thrust of my (WFSP) work is primarily the Computer-Human Interface.
