EdWeb by Andy Carvin
The purpose of this hyperbook is to explore the worlds of educational reform and information technology. With EdWeb, you can hunt down on-line educational resources around the world, learn about trends in education policy and information infrastructure development, examine success stories of computers in the classroom, and much, much more.

Foreign Language & Instructional Technology Interest Group
The Arts and Sciences Center for Instructional Technologies, in conjunction with the Instructional Technology Group of ITC, facilitates a faculty mentoring program and interest groups in each language group. Here faculty can share ideas, discuss how the new technologies have changed their teaching methods and styles, and plan ahead for more experimentation and change as new breakthroughs are made in the field of instructional technology and teaching. Under the auspices of these programs, faculty members can explore and share the instructional potential of pre-packaged foreign language software and multimedia projects, the World Wide Web, and more traditional uses of audiovisual and language laboratory equipment. This home page is a central resource for these groups.

Exploring The Internet
The Internet is a big place and there are a lot of things you can do. You can download files, chat with others on the Internet, send email, surf the Web, read and respond to net news, and lots more. In the following pages, I've tried to give a quick survey of these activities and the tools that you will need. Most of the references to tools have links that point to the location you can download the tool from. All of the tools that I discuss are for the Macintosh. I invite anyone who is familiar with tools for the Wintel platforms to contribute.

The CALL Cookbook
Our mission is to provide instructors and students interested in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) with inspirational examples ('recipes') of working, web-based activities we created to add flavor to the regular meat-and-potatoes classroom study of a foreign language. In addition, we have provided links to other sites, reviews of currently available CALL software and information helpful in creating a course both encompassing and employing computer-based language study.

EUROCALL

http://www.intellect-net.com/europa/index.htm
EUROPA-on line The new European Union and European matters are currently discussed in schools, universities and amongst the thinking population within and outside of Europe in more detail than ever before. Europa is conceived to respond to this awareness and stimulate it further.

It is an international journal covering aspects of European culture, art, civilisation and ways of living. The contributions come from experts in the relevant areas and are in a language and style which allow them to be read not only as aids to formal study but also as elements of genuine interest to the informed lay person.
