site aims to be a premiere online info source "for faculty, staff and
administrators in colleges and universities who are interested in participating

eduspeak have another hurdle to clear, as registration is required for complete
access to this commercial enterprise. Then again, AcademicNet should prove
worthwhile to professionals interested in mediated learning -- a nascent
instructional model, utilizing "multimedia technology to create an
individualized learning environment and increase student academic achievement."
(Hey, we warned you about so much verbosity.) An academic news section is
included, along with the (electronic) Research Library, Mediated Learning
Courses info, and on."--site. |
