Patrick Douglas Crispen at the University of Alabama has assembled an Internet training workshop called Roadmap for the Information Highway. He has offered these workshops periodically on the Internet through LISTSERV lessons distributed daily via Internet E-mail over a six-week period. His last offering during February was closed after accepting 80,000 requests!
He has made his workshop available to anyone on the Internet and has further allowed his lessons to be tailored to local training needs. Neil Enns of Brandon University has taken Crispen's workshop and formatted it into HTML for use on the World Wide Web. The workshop has also been placed on Newport-Mesa Unified School District's Web server and can be accessed directly from NMNet's home page (URL http://www.nmusd.k12.ca.us).
The workshop covers all aspects of the Internet, including levels of connectivity, E-mail, netiquette, newsgroups, Telnet, FTP, Gopher, WWW and Listservs. It is an excellent resource to provide your instructional and administrative staff if they have Internet and Web browsing capability but donŐt know very much about the Internet.
