Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm Al Friedman, a Physical Sciences (geology, oceanography, meteorology, astronomy) Instructor at Everett Community College. I'm very interested in new technologies for education and am currently running an electronic classroom where all presentations are run from an overhead projector panel connected to: a video camera, VCR, laserdisc player, computer w/CD-ROM drive, and a digitizing tablet. I'd like to learn more about conducting on-line courses and would love to learn how to set up a listserver for that purpose. I'm also interested in how other Community College science instructors have their laboratory hours counted as part of their teaching load. At EvCC, each 'lecture' hour is considered to be 1/15 of one's teaching load, while each science 'lab' hour is worth only 1/18. I've always considered this unequitable, but have been told that things are worse at other colleges. True? Al Friedman afriedma@ctc.ctc.edu http://www.ctc.edu/~afriedma .
