Convergent knowledge generation development of concept and framework for distance learning

Goal identification becomes increasingly important in these days of complexity and diversity. Up to now, we have been taught how to solve the problem with the goal definitely defined. From now on, how to find the goal and how we can tailor our resources toward the problem solving becomes a critical issue. We propose a new concept convergent knowledge generation. The concept of CKG is fostered through our experience from our shared class with Stanford University ME210/310. It provides a videoconference system, Web based file share folder, and human resource categorizing system for students, etc. They are very useful for on-campus students, but not for off-campus students, because off-campus students are free from constraints, i.e., physical classroom constraints, but they have to consider asynchronous communication on the other hand. In order to set up a suitable goal in the many combinatoric cases, a systematic method is needed. This system must be capable of easily managing thousands of resources and each process must be communicated in an asynchronous manner
