A VISION OF A SAFE SCIENCE CLASSROOM
http://www.microsoft.com/education/hed/vision.htm
In Vision this month, Thomas Marino gives us his views on what the
"ideal" classroom of the future will look like. In the course of doing
so, Dr. Marino shares some of his personal experience using technology
in his teaching to further collaborative learning among students and
instructors. He also presents a philosophical meditation on the merits
of using technology to facilitate the "safe, holistic classroom" that he
sees as the goal towards which educators should strive.

instructional technology in the higher education system of North
Carolina. Harrison describes several strategies used in the past by

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Case Studies comes to us once again from a familiar source. Barbara
Horgan contributes another in a series of articles for The Technology
Source, this one discussing the subject of partnerships within higher
education, in terms of inter-institutional consortia as well as ventures
that pair up academic institutions and private corporations. Horgan
examines projects of both types and makes a strong case for continued
cooperation between educational providers of every stripe.

authors, and the editors to come together virtually and share ideas.
They invite you to join in a NetMeeting focusing on virtual universities
to be held March 20, 1998.
