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.

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.
