Click on the Logo and send a question! While the service states that questions are answered within 24 hours - the actual response time is much less and frequently occurs within the hour.

Move to your WebCT courseware and to the location where you wish to place the Link. Hold down CTL key and tap the V key on the keyboard. This will paste the logo into your files. copy the entire link in the cell immediately below and paste it into the same location you pasted the logo. The Logo should appear on your page and be linked to the AskUs service.

Increase use of scholarly material by students. Web-Loving Students Can Be Prodded to Cite Peer-Reviewed Works in Term Papers, Study Suggests By Scott Carlson. "A forthcoming report of a study shows that students in a course at Cornell University have generally used fewer and fewer scholarly materials in their library research in the past six years. But the professor who teaches the course reversed the trend by providing a few clear guidelines in term-paper assignments." Charles Wankel notes the following two items: From Syllabus magazine online. SUNY Online Enrollment Up 34 Percent The State University of New York (SUNY) said that fall 2002 enrollment of 19,214 students in the SUNY Learning Network (SLN), its online learning arm, is an increase of 34 percent over the fall 2001 enrollment of 14,303. The growth puts SLN's projected total year-long enrollment at more than 50,000 students, breaking last year's all-time record of 40,000 students enrolled, which was an increase of more than 56 percent over the 2000-01 enrollment of 25,500. In SLN's first academic year, 1995-96, the online learning network enrolled 119 students in eight courses on two campuses. In fall 2002, 1,399 faculty members offered 2,067 courses. Since 1998, SLN has offered 8,538 courses. For more information visit http://SLN.suny.edu From the Chronicle of Education online. "New School U. and Britain's Open U. Create a Distance-Education Partnership" in the Chronicle of Education online (Jan 28, 2003). See: http://chronicle.com/free/2003/01/2003012801t.htm Charlie comments, "One thing is the brilliance of the New School's partnering internationally in distance education. Secondly, one wonders about what kind of "out the frame" partnering with giant businesses, government, international, etc. SJU might surprise us with. What I suggest is that Jeff develop a distance proposal for the United Nations--United Nations Cyberversity. This would involve having each nation of the United Nations contribute a course. No degrees would be given but the courses could count in other universities. Funding would come from the Gates Foundation. Also, the United Nations affiliation and funding of Seton Hall's new school of diplomacy might be a model.
