Impact of New Information Resources:
Multimedia and Networks
Winter 1995 Homepage
The Winter 1995 version of the course "Impact of New Information
Resources:Multimedia and Networks" was a distance learning course taught
simultaneously in Ann Arbor and Berkeley by Howard Besser. To get an idea of what this course
was all about, read the description, some major course themes and questions, and/or the
syllabus. You may also
wish to look at the
Web documents created for earlier versions of the
course.
What We Did In This Course
Of course, we had assignments,
including reading
newspaper articles and completing term
projects.Take a look at our
homepages to find out a bit about us. Read our
essays for more formal
considerations of distance learning and other issues associated with this
course. We took part in discussion groups to work in a more in-depth fashion on
particular topics. Sometimes, guests
came to speak to us.
And now a word from our sponsors:
Funding for the Distance Learning aspects of this class was provided by the
Kellogg Coalition on Reinventing Information Science, Technology, and Library
Education.

Last but proverbially not least,
student assistants were responsible for any number of things from
facilitating discussions to designing Web documents like this one.
