In this talk we will discuss the MAGIC project
http://maths.dept.shef.ac.uk/magic/index.php/, which is concerned with
sharing postgraduate taught courses in mathematics between many
universities in the UK using access-grid technology to deliver live
lectures. The project is the largest of its kind anywhere the world both
in terms of the number of institutions involved and the sheer scale
of the operation in using this type of technology.
We will discuss the background to the project some of the major highlights and typical problems. |
