The Internet, the University, A New Job Market, and Instruction
Does instructional technology offer a career opportunity for academics? "Technology ranging from the Yahoo! search engine to Sun Microsystem's Java applications originated as graduate-student projects or theses that were quickly converted into commercial enterprises."The emerging reality," argues a columnist for the on-line magazine Hotwired , "is that every major research university in the world that is on the Internet is inherently in the Internet business. It's unavoidable, it's inevitable, and it's going to change the way universities fund themselves, train their students, and relate to the outside world."
This weekly Internet publication offers a selection of new and newly discovered Internet resources of interest to researchers and educators. This Web site has a fully linked and searchable HTML version of all previous Scout Reports, and Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) versions for printing and distribution.
Writing HTML is a tutorial for creating Web pages. The site was created to help teachers create learning resources that access information on the Internet.
