- Share Carolina
- is an initiative sponsored by Academic Technology and Networks (ATN) of the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to share its instructional Internet development tools with
other academic institutions and non-profit organizations. The tools include a Web interface for
creating and managing listservs, Web-based discussion forums, a form and quiz builder, and
templates for instructor and course home pages.
The Syllabus Web conducts weekly case studies. This week, a Master's Degree program where students from places as far flung as Bangladesh, Kuwait, and Kuala Lumpur are among those pursuing a Technology in Education master's degree at Lesley College.

WGU's mission is to expand educational opportunities for learners everywhere, offering courses from a wide array of sources. Educational access will be provided to a dispersed population of students who might not otherwise have access to higher education and to those needing workplace training. Its' corporate offices are located in Salt Lake City, Utah with academic offices in Denver, Colorado.
The states and territories participating in Western Governors University are Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The lead governors in the WGU development are Roy Romer of Colorado and Mike Leavitt of Utah, who serve as co-chairs of the Board of Trustees.

- West Chester University - Virtual Biology Laboratory
- Professors John T. Beneski and Jack Waber, in the Department of Biology at West Chester University in Pennsylvania have developed a CD-ROM-based series of laboratory modules called the Virtual Biology Lab. Designed as an alternative to the traditional laboratory format for a college-level, basic Biology class, the application is an interactive series of modules covering a wide range of topics. Topics range from cell chemistry to ecology. It currently is being beta-tested in a class of approximately 500 students at the university where, in addition to using Bodyworks 4.0 for human dissection, it has completely replaced traditional laboratory activities. Virtual Biology Laboratory is designed to improve and expand the educational effectiveness and efficiency of biology laboratories. Students are exposed to the same tools used by biologists to acquire information about living organisms, such as microscopes, radioisotope counting, electrophoresis, and chromatography. Students actually "do" science by performing experiments, generating "raw" data that must be analyzed and interpreted, and then using the data to explain and help understand some biological concept or phenomenon.
- California State University, Los Angeles - Web Spreads Science Instruction Far and Wide
- Fruit flies mating in cyberspace and earthquakes on the Web are all in a day's work for two professors from California State University, Los Angeles. Robert Desharnais, associate professor of biology and Gary Novak, professor of geology at Cal Sate L.A. have recently ported two of their popular teaching programs, Virtual FlyLab and Virtual Earthquake to the World Wide Web where they're attracting attention from around the world.
The project is called The Electronic Desktop and it's slated to grow. Novak and Desharnais got the idea to develop their "electronic desktop" on the Web when they realized that the science instruction software they had created on NextStep would be difficult to widely disseminate because of the operating system's limited commercial success. The two had developed an entire suite of programs using NextStep over the last five years.- AACC/Network Workforce Database on Web
- The National Community College Workforce Development Database, a tool designed by NETWORK Consortium and the American Association of Community Colleges, has moved to the Web. Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor, it provides access to a wide variety of workforce development information, covering more than 800 colleges and about 5,000 public- and private-sector training programs.
