Of specific interest to Sigtel-l members: Internet for Educators: Introduction to Networked Learning (IN520)
introduces teachers, administrators, curriculum supervisors, librarians, and others to the Internet and

gopher, ftp, listservs, world wide web, chat, and news groups. They will learn to identify and describe the
types of online activities and projects that have been implemented in educational settings, and will be able
to discuss the educational benefits and problems/issues associated with networked learning activities.
Students will be able to construct a network learning activity based upon information from research and
practice, and optionally, will implement the activity or project they design in class in
