*THE INTERNET GURU* by Dr. Brad Eden Coordinator of Technical Services/Automated Library Services North Harris Montgomery Community College District Houston, Texas beden@nhmccd.edu With the growth of the Web, it is often hard to keep up with the many search engines, sites, and finding the needed information on the Internet. This issue's topic is Web-based training sites for Web use and Web instruction, as well as distance learning sites for those of you who are looking at continuing education using the Internet. There are many MLS programs that are now done through distance learning, for any support staff who are interested in obtaining this degree. Other degree programs are also available, as well as many courses for information and/or pleasure, some that do not cost anything. Have fun exploring these sites!! ________________________________________ You can take free email courses (with message boards and web-based assignments) at Spectrum Virtual Online University (also limited interaction) http://www.vu.org/mainmenu.html Tim Kilby's Web-based training information Center http://www.clark.net/pub/nractive/wbt.html Online Education Library http://www.integralink.com/olel/ New Tools for Teaching: Web-based Education http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/jod/teachdemo/teachdemo.html Dyro's Web-Based Training Site http://www.dyroweb.com/ Open University Intl Centre for Distance Learning http://www-icdl.open.ac.uk/ U Maryland, Intl.
