advertising and listing with city directories.
Business to business
services;
equipment,
software and supplies, forms, insurance, personal background checks, credit
checks, et al will be the fastest growth area in E-commerce. People who
provide such services need local sales to contact the web newbies to tell

RE: Wanted: Instructors in IIOP; Internet Inter-ORB Protocol
Up to $100,000 a year. See
what IIOP is all about
We can use
Set your own working conditions, fees, hours. I was thinking
of small classes at $1,000 fee per student for about 3 months, and a 80/20
instructor/synergy schools split, we do the billing and pay most of the
operational costs. Clearly everything can be negotiated. Instructors are
independent contractors. Maybe someone wants to offer bigger cheaper classes,
someone does more private tutoring help, the guidelines are open to creative
action. Like most things on the INTERNET, intranets and extra- nets; we
have to make it up as we go along. Sample using remote classes and tutors:
The 12 week ( 3 months ) certificate in IIOP class
includes:
1.) Regular e-mail type correspondence class with text
book and standard educational technology - home work set to the individual
skills of each student.
There can be tests exams using on-line forms and
mail etc. ( 25 % of total points or grade )
2.) Projects - production of codes and examples displayed
on site. ( counts as 25 % of class )
3.) Two hours or more a week of class meeting - on
IRC, with white board, presentations and shared applications via NETMEETINGS.
Hours can be arranged with team meeting on ForumForum. ( 15 % of class)
4.) One hour of private conversation on the I-phone,
with a private http://www.wiredbrain.net/ as a place to leave notes and
IP # as a user listing service. (15 % of class points)
5.)
The other 20 % of points are earned in Group cooperation,
sharing of information using conference and BBS facilities at ForumForum
and in reports about;
6.) the use of newgroups, mailing lists, and newspapers
to keep current on day to day developments in the field. See newspapers
on the ForumForum.
An instructor could do up to 12 classes a year of about
12 students each ( a minion ) = $ 10,000 a class = about $100,000 which
seems right for this type of education. If some one wanted university credit
that would add 20 % to 30 % to the cost.
The university would get $ 200
to $ 300 a students for doing registration, transcripts and the approval
for transfer credit.
TECHVISION: IIOP Marc Andreessen, Sr. VP of Technology
In the last two years we've seen an amazing change
in the way businesses communicate.
They've recognized that corporate networks
based on Web technology offer a powerful way to tie together a variety
of EMAIL, database, and operating system platforms. ...
The next shift catalyzed by the Web will be the adoption
of enterprise systems based on distributed objects and IIOP (Internet Inter-ORB
Protocol).
In a full-service INTRANET different operating systems
need to talk to each other, Java needs to talk to C code on the back-end
system, and different applications need to communicate using open standards.
IIOP is a standard for facilitating communication between
objects, as defined by the Object Management Group. We expect that over
the next few years IIOP will become as ubiquitous as HTTP and CGI. ...
IIOP provides a comprehensive system through which
objects can request services from one another across the wide variety of
platforms or database systems they're built on.
Just as Web technology has helped companies simplify
and centralize the distribution of information, distributed objects will
help them simplify and centralize their enterprise applications.
I would really like it if you would use the ForumForum.
Go in and set up conference, documents, newspaper, mess around. We will
only learn by doing.

These people are ready to help. SYNERGY-NET on http://www.wiredbrain.net/
We have talked to some clients in Australia and elsewhere
that will pay good fees for web pages.
They can find resources on http://www.wiredbrain.net/webtutor.htm
and the terms and conditions in tutor.htm.
The basic idea is that we post
a page of resources. Clients contact the providers directly. If they make
their own arrangements we expect a 10% finders fee. If we make arrangements
for payment ( credit card service ) the fee is 18 %. We have to count on
people telling us. This is synergy.
RE: Global Web TV (NC)
In the classroom or anywhere ( see http://forum.trevista.com/
) you turn on the Internet Web-TV with a preset "science" of "discovery"
or "PBS - Nova" setup working at 10 Mb download with CD-ROM quality video,
audio, lecture, textbook, exercises, class meetings, discussion groups,
BBS, Chat, FTP, for world wide distribution. We are close, see EPCOT
II
If you have seen FREELOADER or POINTCAST, and looked at
Web-TV, you can make the connection to Global Low orbit satellites ( see
http://www.wiredbrain.net/ hotflash.htm ) and
you have the powerful tools for a new educational technology that actually
could made a real difference .
Not only within today institutional school and college setting but outside
it.
We are building a network of tutors in support of such
a system. ( http://www.wiredbrain.net/ tutor.htm )
Training in all subjects will be provided by someone, Video tapes, books,
audio lessons in English, TOFEL, History, Science, Professions and Trades,
up grade and in-service programs for accountants and insurance, builders
and security traders, real estate and law, medical technology and human
relations, travel services and banking, the future is now.
The student gains from the best current information,
on the web, at his own place, pace and time, where capital cost replace
labor cost, the price will drop quickly.
The instruction is free of the
institutional constraints that add 50% to cost, hold back learning by using
ancient low impact boring methods, instructors become fee agents and more
creative, and curriculum providers find a huge new market.
The middle school
and classroom people ( See Gates http://www.wiredbrain.net/
gates.htm ) begin to be cut out - the schools and college bureaucracies,
textbooks, committees, and the long show process of reform can now take
place at the speed of light.
In the classroom or anywhere ( see http://forum.trevista.com/
) you turn on the Internet Web-TV with a preset "science" of "discovery"
or "PBS - Nova" setup working at 10 Mb download with CD-ROM quality video,
audio, lecture, textbook, exercises, class meetings, discussion groups,
BBS, Chat, FTP, for world wide distribution. We are close.
You can check in on the
IRC from our web page.
The tutors names who are currently available
will be there. Help comes in three classes, tutor is $32.00 hr, advisor
at $62.50 hr, and expert at $95.00 hr. You establish an account and you
have help when you need it on demand. Just the amount you need when you
need it. LIST of people who have contacted synergy@mail.trevista.com This
is not in order yet, I am working on it.

Each subject will have its' own tutor page. Students contact
us, sign in, pay a deposit of $100.00, get a password and instructions
sheet, find a tutor, and get started. We bill them per hour rate based
and an agreement between Synergy School ( Party of the First Part ), the
Tutor ( Party of the second Part ), and the Student, ( Part of the Third
Part ), if for credit the college giving academic credit becomes part of
the fourth part.
The Tutor and Student agree on a rate and approve of the
hours charged report and total bill for each month. Synergy School and
the Tutor, Advisor, or Expert.
The student is billed via credit card or
we can use electronic transfer for billing and paying. We can make payments
to tutors debit accounts or by check via air snail-mail. Not too hard.
We have very secure transfer systems.
Synergy Schools is a broker, a site, a provider of
services. We are looking for grants to support facilities for VDO, Real
Audio, ( Listen to http://www.ttalk.com/ tonight 7 - 10, I maybe on the
show, if you miss it you can play the tape anytime )- We have forum, web
sites, ftp, chat, phone, e-mail etc. for one of the most interactive sites
on the Internet.
RE:
Getting our act together:
This is the DRAFT OF THE contract between:
The Institute of Human Resources, Inc. A Non-profit
Florida Corp. doing business as Global Village Enterprises, (GVE) Synergy
Network Schools ( party of the first part ) and Independent Contractors
AKA as Teachers, Instructors, Tutors, Advisors, Experts, Consultants, et
al: ( parties of the second part ).
The students or clients ( parties of
the third part ) who use the services of the instructors make their own
arrangements as to price, meeting times, services provided etc. GVE will
make every reasonable effort to assure quality and prevent fraud but can
not control every transaction. We will post in the public file ( On the
Internet ) and issues, praise or blame, that arise about an instructor.
If there are a series of complaints instructors will be removed. Good or
excellent service will be promoted. ( one to five star teachers ).
Duties of Synergy Network Schools
:
We will provide 24 hr, seven day a week, well advertised
web sites for on-line HELP, with the lists and home pages of tutors, instructors,
advisors, experts in a variety of subjects. Instructors will have available
to them ForumForm by AltaVista, BBS, Synergy Forum ( their own ), BBS systems,
a Web page and sites for documents and files, FTP password access, IRC
chat channels, and other services as needed. We recommend but can not require
basic computer literacy and netmeeting I-phone systems installed. If students
and teachers just want to do E-mail, that is their business. We do not
want to exclude people who have computer setup's or on-line services don't
offer IRC or FTP or I- phone. We offer Internet 101 as a free beta test
to instructors. At some point instructors maybe asked to pay for their
sites and Internet instruction, as for now it's free. Tutors are getting
a package worth several hundred dollars free ( web site, help with web
pages, free instruction, use of facilities, etc )
People seeking assistance can come to the site http://www.wiredbrain.net/tutor.htm
and be guided to people offering help.
PAYMENTS:
The instructors/tutors will submit to GVS ( Synergy Network
schools ) a computer form stating the arrangement between the parties.
A deposit, $100.00 will be required by the student after the arrangement
as been approved.
The instructor/tutor will bill the student at such times
and in such amounts as they have agreed. GVS billing agent ( the party
of the fourth part ) will charge that amount to Visa or Master Charge (
now in operation ). A service charge of 10 % will be made by the Billing
agent such as American Web Publishing Corporation (://awpc ) for billing
services. From the 90% GVS we will take 20 % ( $ 18.00 ) and the billing
agent will pay the instructor the balance ( $ 72.00 ) via check, electronic
transfer, or credit to their Visa or Master Charge Accounts. Bill backs
fees will be covered by the deposit until the arrangement is terminated.
It will then be used to pay final bills and the balance will be returned.
Summary: $ 100.00 (US) in billing: AWPC ( or other
billing agent ) subtracts $ 10.00 and sends $ 18.00 to GVE account, and
$ 72.00 to the instructor ( or 72 % of gross billing ). If a college or
other institution ( party of the fifth part ) offers the services for credit,
the additional cost will be added and the institution may also be the billing
agent and do the billing. Credit may add 30% to the cost so $100.00 becomes
$ 130.00 but the college also acts as billing agent ( $10.00 ) pays $ 18.00
to GVS ( 14 % ) for facilities and $ 72.00 to the instructor. ( 55 % )
Duties of the Tutors:
FIRST, they will create post their own web page.
The Page
will say ( We AWPC will set up a professional web page for you at the cost
of $100.00 ) Your web site would cost from $10 to $ 20 a month - so this
is quite a deal.
-
1.) Name, address, e-mail, URL
-
2.) Subjects offered
-
3.) Fees and charges
-
4.) Background and qualifications
Some instructors maybe real experts charging $100.00 or
more an hour, others maybe graduate students happy to tutor for $15.00.
GVS can't really supervise the fee structure. We now have several dozen
instructors, the list may quickly grow to 100's or 1000's in dozens of
subjects. We will make it as easy as possible for the student to find the
help they need when they need it at the price that is fair to everyone
- That's called synergy.

The students and instructors can go hour by hour or
arrange a full three credit class with a certificate or credit. At $32.50
per hour, ten hours a month, a little over two hours a week = $320.00 at
72/28 it's $230.00 for the tutor, and $90.00 service fee for the school
per month.
The student will have materials provided on the web pages, reading
and home work. We will have on
line test exams so they can see how they are doing.
The student should
do two hours of
independent study for each hour of private tutoring ( as in the British
system ), so 10 hours of tutor equals 20 ( contact hours ).
A 25 hr private contact hours program = more than the
45 hr, 3 credit class. A three credit private class for $812.50 ( 32.50
x 25 hours ) is less than most private colleges. ( $ 585 for teacher /
$227 for the school )
If we give credit via a college the fee will be higher
by 30% or $42.25 x 25 hr. = $1056 , $ 317 per student per class to the
college ( $ 155 to GVS, $ 585 for the instructor ) for services including
transcripts and billing agent charges.
The college would have to approve
of each instructor and the content.

---------- From: Zcat117@aol.com Sent: Thursday, October
03, 1996 12:11 AM To: Peter Pflaum Subject: Re: Professional training
Dear Peter,
What an interesting e-mail. And how convenient that my
institution offers all the courses you referenced!
There are some problems
with the idea at present as some of the regulatory agencies are not quite
ready to approve unsupervised learning, but the idea definitely has merit.
Do you have the acumen to design and write interactive virtual cd-rom programs
for these courses? Our largest expense is invested on our most important,
yet variable asset - the instructors. I've been prepping to video tape
some of the courses so they will be (1) standardized presentation (ie.
me) and (2) after production costs are factored (very expensive), I can
(3) reduce tuition, (4) improve market share, and (5) reduce faculty and
overhead.
The regulators are not even receptive to this. Current statute(s)
require a live licensed, approved instructor be in the room at all times,
so you are a bit ahead of your time.
I have a statewide expansion plan that may launch in
December based on certain contingencies which will not reveal themselves
until November. Would you be interested in (1) locating an expansion site
for us (preferrably renting or leasing classroom space on weekends or Thursday
- Sunday on an ongoing "every week" basis OR a storefront set up with space
for 50 +/- attendees, (2) administrating, and (3) possibly instructing
or supervising instructors at a location near you? Call me. Leave a message
if I'm not there when you call or e-mail me here. I'm involved in several
educational projects and my schedule is frenetic. We can talk. Call me.

AKA as Teachers, Instructors, Tutors, Advisors, Experts, Consultants, et

The students or clients ( parties of
the third part ) who use the services of the instructors make their own
arrangements as to price, meeting times, services provided etc. GVE will
make every reasonable effort to assure quality and prevent fraud but can
not control every transaction. We will post in the public file ( On the
Internet ) and issues, praise or blame, that arise about an instructor.
If there are a series of complaints instructors will be removed. Good or
excellent service will be promoted. ( one to five star teachers ).
Duties of Synergy Network Schools
:
We will provide 24 hr, seven day a week, well advertised
web sites for on-line HELP, with the lists and home pages of tutors, instructors,
advisors, experts in a variety of subjects. Instructors will have available
to them ForumForm by AltaVista, BBS, Synergy Forum ( their own ), BBS systems,
a Web page and sites for documents and files, FTP password access, IRC
chat channels, and other services as needed. We recommend but can not require
basic computer literacy and netmeeting I-phone systems installed. If students
and teachers just want to do E-mail, that is their business. We do not
want to exclude people who have computer setup's or on-line services don't
offer IRC or FTP or I- phone. We offer Internet 101 as a free beta test
to instructors. At some point instructors maybe asked to pay for their
sites and Internet instruction, as for now it's free. Tutors are getting
a package worth several hundred dollars free ( web site, help with web
pages, free instruction, use of facilities, etc )
People seeking assistance can come to the site http://www.wiredbrain.net/tutor.htm
and be guided to people offering help.
PAYMENTS:
The instructors/tutors will submit to GVS ( Synergy Network
schools ) a computer form stating the arrangement between the parties.
A deposit, $100.00 will be required by the student after the arrangement
as been approved.
The instructor/tutor will bill the student at such times
and in such amounts as they have agreed. GVS billing agent ( the party
of the fourth part ) will charge that amount to Visa or Master Charge (
now in operation ). A service charge of 10 % will be made by the Billing
agent such as American Web Publishing Corporation (://awpc ) for billing
services. From the 90% GVS we will take 20 % ( $ 18.00 ) and the billing
agent will pay the instructor the balance ( $ 72.00 ) via check, electronic
transfer, or credit to their Visa or Master Charge Accounts. Bill backs
fees will be covered by the deposit until the arrangement is terminated.
It will then be used to pay final bills and the balance will be returned.
Summary: $ 100.00 (US) in billing: AWPC ( or other
billing agent ) subtracts $ 10.00 and sends $ 18.00 to GVE account, and
$ 72.00 to the instructor ( or 72 % of gross billing ). If a college or
other institution ( party of the fifth part ) offers the services for credit,
the additional cost will be added and the institution may also be the billing
agent and do the billing. Credit may add 30% to the cost so $100.00 becomes
$ 130.00 but the college also acts as billing agent ( $10.00 ) pays $ 18.00
to GVS ( 14 % ) for facilities and $ 72.00 to the instructor. ( 55 % )
Duties of the Tutors:
FIRST, they will create post their own web page.
The Page
will say ( We AWPC will set up a professional web page for you at the cost
of $100.00 ) Your web site would cost from $10 to $ 20 a month - so this
is quite a deal.
-
1.) Name, address, e-mail, URL
-
2.) Subjects offered
-
3.) Fees and charges
-
4.) Background and qualifications
Some instructors maybe real experts charging $100.00 or
more an hour, others maybe graduate students happy to tutor for $15.00.
GVS can't really supervise the fee structure. We now have several dozen
instructors, the list may quickly grow to 100's or 1000's in dozens of
subjects. We will make it as easy as possible for the student to find the
help they need when they need it at the price that is fair to everyone
- That's called synergy.

The students and instructors can go hour by hour or
arrange a full three credit class with a certificate or credit. At $32.50
per hour, ten hours a month, a little over two hours a week = $320.00 at
72/28 it's $230.00 for the tutor, and $90.00 service fee for the school
per month.
The student will have materials provided on the web pages, reading
and home work. We will have on
line test exams so they can see how they are doing.
The student should
do two hours of
independent study for each hour of private tutoring ( as in the British
system ), so 10 hours of tutor equals 20 ( contact hours ).
A 25 hr private contact hours program = more than the
45 hr, 3 credit class. A three credit private class for $812.50 ( 32.50
x 25 hours ) is less than most private colleges. ( $ 585 for teacher /
$227 for the school )
If we give credit via a college the fee will be higher
by 30% or $42.25 x 25 hr. = $1056 , $ 317 per student per class to the
college ( $ 155 to GVS, $ 585 for the instructor ) for services including
transcripts and billing agent charges.
The college would have to approve
of each instructor and the content.

03, 1996 12:11 AM To: Peter Pflaum Subject: Re: Professional training
Dear Peter,
What an interesting e-mail. And how convenient that my
institution offers all the courses you referenced!
There are some problems
with the idea at present as some of the regulatory agencies are not quite
ready to approve unsupervised learning, but the idea definitely has merit.
Do you have the acumen to design and write interactive virtual cd-rom programs
for these courses? Our largest expense is invested on our most important,
yet variable asset - the instructors. I've been prepping to video tape
some of the courses so they will be (1) standardized presentation (ie.
me) and (2) after production costs are factored (very expensive), I can
(3) reduce tuition, (4) improve market share, and (5) reduce faculty and
overhead.
The regulators are not even receptive to this. Current statute(s)
require a live licensed, approved instructor be in the room at all times,
so you are a bit ahead of your time.
I have a statewide expansion plan that may launch in
December based on certain contingencies which will not reveal themselves
until November. Would you be interested in (1) locating an expansion site
for us (preferrably renting or leasing classroom space on weekends or Thursday
- Sunday on an ongoing "every week" basis OR a storefront set up with space
for 50 +/- attendees, (2) administrating, and (3) possibly instructing
or supervising instructors at a location near you? Call me. Leave a message
if I'm not there when you call or e-mail me here. I'm involved in several
educational projects and my schedule is frenetic. We can talk. Call me.

These are the tools of the internet trade. FIRST you need a web page. GO TO COPY.HTM the submit it page and do it NOW!
Set your own working conditions, fees, hours. I was thinking
of small classes at $1,000 fee per student for about 3 months, and a 80/20
instructor/synergy schools split, we do the billing and pay most of the
operational costs. Clearly everything can be negotiated. Instructors are
independent contractors. Maybe someone wants to offer bigger cheaper classes,
someone does more private tutoring help, the guidelines are open to creative
action. Like most things on the INTERNET, intranets and extra- nets; we
have to make it up as we go along. Sample using remote classes and tutors:
The 12 week ( 3 months ) certificate in IIOP class
includes:
1.) Regular e-mail type correspondence class with text
book and standard educational technology - home work set to the individual
skills of each student.
There can be tests exams using on-line forms and
mail etc. ( 25 % of total points or grade )
2.) Projects - production of codes and examples displayed
on site. ( counts as 25 % of class )
3.) Two hours or more a week of class meeting - on
IRC, with white board, presentations and shared applications via NETMEETINGS.
Hours can be arranged with team meeting on ForumForum. ( 15 % of class)
4.) One hour of private conversation on the I-phone,
with a private http://www.wiredbrain.net/ as a place to leave notes and
IP # as a user listing service. (15 % of class points)
5.)
The other 20 % of points are earned in Group cooperation,
sharing of information using conference and BBS facilities at ForumForum
and in reports about;
6.) the use of newgroups, mailing lists, and newspapers
to keep current on day to day developments in the field. See newspapers
on the ForumForum.
An instructor could do up to 12 classes a year of about
12 students each ( a minion ) = $ 10,000 a class = about $100,000 which
seems right for this type of education. If some one wanted university credit
that would add 20 % to 30 % to the cost.
The university would get $ 200
to $ 300 a students for doing registration, transcripts and the approval
for transfer credit.
TECHVISION: IIOP Marc Andreessen, Sr. VP of Technology
In the last two years we've seen an amazing change
in the way businesses communicate.
They've recognized that corporate networks
based on Web technology offer a powerful way to tie together a variety
of EMAIL, database, and operating system platforms. ...
The next shift catalyzed by the Web will be the adoption
of enterprise systems based on distributed objects and IIOP (Internet Inter-ORB
Protocol).
In a full-service INTRANET different operating systems
need to talk to each other, Java needs to talk to C code on the back-end
system, and different applications need to communicate using open standards.
IIOP is a standard for facilitating communication between
objects, as defined by the Object Management Group. We expect that over
the next few years IIOP will become as ubiquitous as HTTP and CGI. ...
IIOP provides a comprehensive system through which
objects can request services from one another across the wide variety of
platforms or database systems they're built on.
Just as Web technology has helped companies simplify
and centralize the distribution of information, distributed objects will
help them simplify and centralize their enterprise applications.
I would really like it if you would use the ForumForum.
Go in and set up conference, documents, newspaper, mess around. We will
only learn by doing.

THE TUTOR PAGE:
These people are ready to help. SYNERGY-NET on http://www.wiredbrain.net/
We have talked to some clients in Australia and elsewhere
that will pay good fees for web pages.
They can find resources on http://www.wiredbrain.net/webtutor.htm
and the terms and conditions in tutor.htm.
The basic idea is that we post
a page of resources. Clients contact the providers directly. If they make
their own arrangements we expect a 10% finders fee. If we make arrangements
for payment ( credit card service ) the fee is 18 %. We have to count on
people telling us. This is synergy.

schools ) a computer form stating the arrangement between the parties.
A deposit, $100.00 will be required by the student after the arrangement
as been approved.
The instructor/tutor will bill the student at such times
and in such amounts as they have agreed. GVS billing agent ( the party
of the fourth part ) will charge that amount to Visa or Master Charge (
now in operation ). A service charge of 10 % will be made by the Billing
agent such as American Web Publishing Corporation (://awpc ) for billing
services. From the 90% GVS we will take 20 % ( $ 18.00 ) and the billing
agent will pay the instructor the balance ( $ 72.00 ) via check, electronic
transfer, or credit to their Visa or Master Charge Accounts. Bill backs
fees will be covered by the deposit until the arrangement is terminated.
It will then be used to pay final bills and the balance will be returned.
Summary: $ 100.00 (US) in billing: AWPC ( or other
billing agent ) subtracts $ 10.00 and sends $ 18.00 to GVE account, and
$ 72.00 to the instructor ( or 72 % of gross billing ). If a college or
other institution ( party of the fifth part ) offers the services for credit,
the additional cost will be added and the institution may also be the billing
agent and do the billing. Credit may add 30% to the cost so $100.00 becomes
$ 130.00 but the college also acts as billing agent ( $10.00 ) pays $ 18.00
to GVS ( 14 % ) for facilities and $ 72.00 to the instructor. ( 55 % )
Duties of the Tutors:
FIRST, they will create post their own web page.
The Page
will say ( We AWPC will set up a professional web page for you at the cost
of $100.00 ) Your web site would cost from $10 to $ 20 a month - so this
is quite a deal.
-
1.) Name, address, e-mail, URL
-
2.) Subjects offered
-
3.) Fees and charges
-
4.) Background and qualifications
Some instructors maybe real experts charging $100.00 or
more an hour, others maybe graduate students happy to tutor for $15.00.
GVS can't really supervise the fee structure. We now have several dozen
instructors, the list may quickly grow to 100's or 1000's in dozens of
subjects. We will make it as easy as possible for the student to find the
help they need when they need it at the price that is fair to everyone
- That's called synergy.

The students and instructors can go hour by hour or
arrange a full three credit class with a certificate or credit. At $32.50
per hour, ten hours a month, a little over two hours a week = $320.00 at
72/28 it's $230.00 for the tutor, and $90.00 service fee for the school
per month.
The student will have materials provided on the web pages, reading
and home work. We will have on
line test exams so they can see how they are doing.
The student should
do two hours of
independent study for each hour of private tutoring ( as in the British
system ), so 10 hours of tutor equals 20 ( contact hours ).
A 25 hr private contact hours program = more than the
45 hr, 3 credit class. A three credit private class for $812.50 ( 32.50
x 25 hours ) is less than most private colleges. ( $ 585 for teacher /
$227 for the school )
If we give credit via a college the fee will be higher
by 30% or $42.25 x 25 hr. = $1056 , $ 317 per student per class to the
college ( $ 155 to GVS, $ 585 for the instructor ) for services including
transcripts and billing agent charges.
The college would have to approve
of each instructor and the content.

Dear Peter,
What an interesting e-mail. And how convenient that my
institution offers all the courses you referenced!
There are some problems
with the idea at present as some of the regulatory agencies are not quite
ready to approve unsupervised learning, but the idea definitely has merit.
Do you have the acumen to design and write interactive virtual cd-rom programs
for these courses? Our largest expense is invested on our most important,
yet variable asset - the instructors. I've been prepping to video tape
some of the courses so they will be (1) standardized presentation (ie.
me) and (2) after production costs are factored (very expensive), I can
(3) reduce tuition, (4) improve market share, and (5) reduce faculty and
overhead.
The regulators are not even receptive to this. Current statute(s)
require a live licensed, approved instructor be in the room at all times,
so you are a bit ahead of your time.
I have a statewide expansion plan that may launch in
December based on certain contingencies which will not reveal themselves
until November. Would you be interested in (1) locating an expansion site
for us (preferrably renting or leasing classroom space on weekends or Thursday
- Sunday on an ongoing "every week" basis OR a storefront set up with space
for 50 +/- attendees, (2) administrating, and (3) possibly instructing
or supervising instructors at a location near you? Call me. Leave a message
if I'm not there when you call or e-mail me here. I'm involved in several
educational projects and my schedule is frenetic. We can talk. Call me.

We have talked to some clients in Australia and elsewhere
that will pay good fees for web pages.
They can find resources on http://www.wiredbrain.net/webtutor.htm
and the terms and conditions in tutor.htm.
The basic idea is that we post
a page of resources. Clients contact the providers directly. If they make
their own arrangements we expect a 10% finders fee. If we make arrangements
for payment ( credit card service ) the fee is 18 %. We have to count on
people telling us. This is synergy.

We are building a network of tutors in support of such a system. ( http://www.wiredbrain.net/ tutor.htm ) Training in all subjects will be provided by someone, Video tapes, books, audio lessons in English, TOFEL, History, Science, Professions and Trades, up grade and in-service programs for accountants and insurance, builders and security traders, real estate and law, medical technology and human relations, travel services and banking, the future is now.
The student gains from the best current information,
on the web, at his own place, pace and time, where capital cost replace
labor cost, the price will drop quickly.
The instruction is free of the
institutional constraints that add 50% to cost, hold back learning by using
ancient low impact boring methods, instructors become fee agents and more
creative, and curriculum providers find a huge new market.
The middle school
and classroom people ( See Gates http://www.wiredbrain.net/
gates.htm ) begin to be cut out - the schools and college bureaucracies,
textbooks, committees, and the long show process of reform can now take
place at the speed of light.

Each subject will have its' own tutor page. Students contact
us, sign in, pay a deposit of $100.00, get a password and instructions
sheet, find a tutor, and get started. We bill them per hour rate based
and an agreement between Synergy School ( Party of the First Part ), the
Tutor ( Party of the second Part ), and the Student, ( Part of the Third
Part ), if for credit the college giving academic credit becomes part of
the fourth part.
The Tutor and Student agree on a rate and approve of the
hours charged report and total bill for each month. Synergy School and
the Tutor, Advisor, or Expert.
The student is billed via credit card or
we can use electronic transfer for billing and paying. We can make payments
to tutors debit accounts or by check via air snail-mail. Not too hard.
We have very secure transfer systems.
Synergy Schools is a broker, a site, a provider of
services. We are looking for grants to support facilities for VDO, Real
Audio, ( Listen to http://www.ttalk.com/ tonight 7 - 10, I maybe on the
show, if you miss it you can play the tape anytime )- We have forum, web
sites, ftp, chat, phone, e-mail etc. for one of the most interactive sites

RE:
Getting our act together:
This is the DRAFT OF THE contract between:

Florida Corp. doing business as Global Village Enterprises, (GVE) Synergy
Network Schools ( party of the first part ) and Independent Contractors
AKA as Teachers, Instructors, Tutors, Advisors, Experts, Consultants, et
al: ( parties of the second part ).
The students or clients ( parties of
the third part ) who use the services of the instructors make their own
arrangements as to price, meeting times, services provided etc. GVE will
make every reasonable effort to assure quality and prevent fraud but can
not control every transaction. We will post in the public file ( On the
Internet ) and issues, praise or blame, that arise about an instructor.
If there are a series of complaints instructors will be removed. Good or
excellent service will be promoted. ( one to five star teachers ).
Duties of Synergy Network Schools
:
We will provide 24 hr, seven day a week, well advertised
web sites for on-line HELP, with the lists and home pages of tutors, instructors,
advisors, experts in a variety of subjects. Instructors will have available
to them ForumForm by AltaVista, BBS, Synergy Forum ( their own ), BBS systems,
a Web page and sites for documents and files, FTP password access, IRC
chat channels, and other services as needed. We recommend but can not require
basic computer literacy and netmeeting I-phone systems installed. If students
and teachers just want to do E-mail, that is their business. We do not
want to exclude people who have computer setup's or on-line services don't
offer IRC or FTP or I- phone. We offer Internet 101 as a free beta test
to instructors. At some point instructors maybe asked to pay for their
sites and Internet instruction, as for now it's free. Tutors are getting
a package worth several hundred dollars free ( web site, help with web
pages, free instruction, use of facilities, etc )
People seeking assistance can come to the site http://www.wiredbrain.net/tutor.htm

FIRST, they will create post their own web page. The instructor/tutor will bill the student at such times and in such amounts as they have agreed. GVS billing agent ( the party of the fourth part ) will charge that amount to Visa or Master Charge ( now in operation ). A service charge of 10 % will be made by the Billing agent such as American Web Publishing Corporation (://awpc ) for billing services. From the 90% GVS we will take 20 % ( $ 18.00 ) and the billing agent will pay the instructor the balance ( $ 72.00 ) via check, electronic transfer, or credit to their Visa or Master Charge Accounts. Bill backs fees will be covered by the deposit until the arrangement is terminated. It will then be used to pay final bills and the balance will be returned.
The Page will say ( We AWPC will set up a professional web page for you at the cost of $100.00 ) Your web site would cost from $10 to $ 20 a month - so this is quite a deal.

The students and instructors can go hour by hour or
arrange a full three credit class with a certificate or credit. At $32.50
per hour, ten hours a month, a little over two hours a week = $320.00 at
72/28 it's $230.00 for the tutor, and $90.00 service fee for the school
per month.
The student will have materials provided on the web pages, reading
and home work. We will have on
line test exams so they can see how they are doing.
The student should
do two hours of
independent study for each hour of private tutoring ( as in the British
system ), so 10 hours of tutor equals 20 ( contact hours ).

A 25 hr private contact hours program = more than the 45 hr, 3 credit class. A three credit private class for $812.50 ( 32.50 x 25 hours ) is less than most private colleges. ( $ 585 for teacher / $227 for the school )
If we give credit via a college the fee will be higher
by 30% or $42.25 x 25 hr. = $1056 , $ 317 per student per class to the
college ( $ 155 to GVS, $ 585 for the instructor ) for services including
transcripts and billing agent charges.
The college would have to approve
of each instructor and the content.

Dear Peter,
What an interesting e-mail. And how convenient that my institution offers all the courses you referenced! There are some problems
with the idea at present as some of the regulatory agencies are not quite
ready to approve unsupervised learning, but the idea definitely has merit.
Do you have the acumen to design and write interactive virtual cd-rom programs
for these courses? Our largest expense is invested on our most important,
yet variable asset - the instructors. I've been prepping to video tape
some of the courses so they will be (1) standardized presentation (ie.
me) and (2) after production costs are factored (very expensive), I can
(3) reduce tuition, (4) improve market share, and (5) reduce faculty and
overhead.
The regulators are not even receptive to this. Current statute(s)
require a live licensed, approved instructor be in the room at all times,
so you are a bit ahead of your time.
I have a statewide expansion plan that may launch in December based on certain contingencies which will not reveal themselves until November. Would you be interested in (1) locating an expansion site for us (preferrably renting or leasing classroom space on weekends or Thursday - Sunday on an ongoing "every week" basis OR a storefront set up with space for 50 +/- attendees, (2) administrating, and (3) possibly instructing or supervising instructors at a location near you? Call me. Leave a message if I'm not there when you call or e-mail me here. I'm involved in several educational projects and my schedule is frenetic. We can talk. Call me.
