Abstract :
A paradigm for distance learning is introduced, and the present state of distance learning technology is reviewed. The development and delivery of a new course, “Multimedia and Visualization for Decision Makers”, is presented as a case study. The course emphasizes competence in using visualization for presentation and problem solving, in understanding how multimedia is used in business and industry, and in gaining technical facility with multimedia software
