[comp.sys.mac] Macintosh in the COMMUNITY COLLEGE

david@jc3b21.UUCP (David Quarles) (07/08/88)

St. Petersburg Junior College has a TASK FORCE exploring the ways
Macintosh is being used at the community (junior) college level to help
faculty develop ways to bring classroom instruction into the computer
age.  We are looking for the ways people are using Macintosh in the
areas of MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE in particular.  This task force would
like your imput.  

Please title this way in comp.sys.mac: SPJC Task Force.

Our main areas of concentration are presently the following.  We hope
to light some small fires of interest in our faculty in Mathematics and
Science now, and other departments later:

	1.  Classroom instruction/simulation with Hypercard.

	2.  Any use of the software called 'TIMBUKTU.'

	3.  Networking faculty offices (file sharing, communication).

	4.  Uses of Hypercard (tutorial) for students.

	5.  Off campus dial-up by students (communication, tutorial).

We are having some trouble finding community college faculty in this
state, Florida, that are currently doing research in these areas.  I
thought since recently learning about the net, that I would post this and
see what happens.

I am in Mathematics instruction and a colleague of mine is in
Microbiology.  We are hoping to find those who are already doing work
like this or perhaps we can create another news.group with some
appropriate name.
