<< Kerala Education Grid >>
Here is an excellent use of grid technology by the Keralan State in India. This grid enables people to receive a quality education regardless of geographic location. The power of this grid is generated by the networks of colleges across India. These colleges unite their computational power and educational force to create an educational institution capable of "draw[ing] from the large volumes of content available or getting generated over the Internet or by the national level projects such as the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning [NPTEL}." With a concerted effort among institutions of higher learning, the Kerala Education Grid will be much like Syracuse University's On-line Education Program-only it will be even more powerful and connected. Imagine the implications for American Universities if such a scenario were to evolve here...think of the diversity in course material that could be offered if you could choose to participate in courses offered from ten major universities at a time! A library science degree, for example, could be tailored to fit a student's every whim because there would be an even wider array of courses available! Think how incredible that would be!
