The WordPerfect forum on Compuserve (go WPSGA) has a file containing two
or three WP 5.1 macros for formatting a text into APA format. I believe
the file is called APAMAC.ZIP or perhaps just APA.ZIP.

Greetings From Nacogdohces--

Can someone 'out there' suggest what type of equipment I would need to get
the output from a color Macintosh computer (ie Mac IIci or IIsi) into a
Sony VPH-2020QJ 3-tube projector ?

The projector has RGB/SYNC inputs, but I seem to recall being told that I
need a black box to process the computer video output--somthing about the
scanning rate or frequency ?

Thanks--

Subject:      DataLink 2400 Modem Problems

Organization: Virginia's Public Education Network

Has anyone had any experience in installing DataLink 2400
internal modems in IIe machines?

I am having trouble with trying to run ProTerm 3.0 on a machine
with the DataLink 2400.  The call goes through O.K., but as
soon as the handshake occurs, I get loads of continuous garbage
on the screen.  It doesn't seem to be the parameters.  I have
called our Radford node, which requires 7S1 and local BBS's
with settings of 8N1.

And it doesn't appear to be the line's fault.  Other computers,
such as the IIgs, operate successfully with a modem on that
line.  In addition, I have installed the DataLink 2400 in a
different IIe (at another school) and the line noise is also
present.

If you know of anything I might be doing wrong, please let me
know.  I am totally frustrated.

Subject:      Video-led Courses at Universities

EDTECHers,

   I recently ran across an article in _The Chronicle of Higher Education_
(it's an October issue, not quite sure why it took five months to make
its way around the office to me) about 7,000 students at Michigan
State University protesting against a history course that was going
to be taught via video.  Student complaints included:
  "You don't learn from a videotape the way you would from a professor."
  "You can't look up to a television program."
  "This course marks a further turn toward impersonal assembly line
education at the university."
  "It's a grave error for the administration to disregard the student
voice and take this colonial attitude that they know what's best for us."

   Administration and faculty advocated that by using video more students
would be able to hear commentary by high quality faculty, they would see
interesting PBS-style video, and that it would allow for smaller
classes (groups of 50 led by teaching assistants instead of large
lectures led by professors).

  I'd like to hear some discussion on EDTECH about this.  Specifically,
-- What's the follow up at Michigan?  Are students still protesting
the history-on-video course?  Are they involved in the course's design
or development?
-- What are other universities doing with video in their courses?
Is video being used elsewhere to solve teaching delivery problems?
What techniques (tactics?) are universities using to keep video
instruction interesting and meaningful to students?
-- What problems does video solve?  What problems does it create?

Ron;  I use an Extron RGB 118 Universal Interface.  It works well with
Mac II and VGA signals.  I am not familiar with the Sony model you are using.
Make sure it has the frequency and bandwidth capability necessary.  I have
found the Extron to be easy to use and trouble free.  There are other brands
that would do the job as well.

	I have cross-posted this email to several (like) groups.  Apologies
	to those of you receiving more than one request for assistance.

	I am asking for assistance in tracking down research that has, or is,
	being done on the use of television as a medium for the delivery of
	education - especially adult education.

	Research on cable-TV, video-conferenceing, slow-scan, closed-circuit,
	are of interest to me as well as the use of television in it's more
	'normal' format.  Any references to texts, contacts or papers that are
	available on-line would be most welcome and appreciated.

	TV as a delivery mechanism is expensive and I am interested to know
	what efficiencies are gained using satellites (if any).  Is student
	interactivity seen to be desirable at all costs?

	Any work you know about that deals with adult attention limits when
	learning from/with TV?  Cognitive issues and visual perception
	information related to the use of TV in adult learning is also relevant.

	I look forward to your replies.  Thanks in anticipation.  I'll leave it
	to you to decide if your response should go to the list or only to me.


	Please use the following address for responses to me:-

Sorry I don't have more time to reply to your query on DB2 vs ADABAS.
I favor the former.  We at The American University are having excellent
results with DB2, QMF, and CSP - three IBM development tools that
work together nicely.  We recently sent out an RFP for a new Human
Resources system, and found many developers offering a DB2 version
of their products.  Few or none, I'm sure, are developing ADABAS
versions.

Considering that sort of thing, and the directions companies such
as Bachmann and Borland are taking, we consider DB2 to be the direction
of the future.  Hope this vote helps a little.  Thanks.

My usual plug : the PCAL EXEC and PCALUS EXEC programs (or the PCAL package),
available from any LISTSERV holding the VM-UTIL collection, do all the date
conversions one can think off, either in the 'catholic' (gregorian shift
4-15 oct 1582) or in the 'anglo' (gregorian shift 2-14 sept 1752) way.  /AF

Not the way you want it to probably.   You can do it if you use XEDIT
to display output though.   The CHAT PACKAGE is a good example of
this type of programming.    It scrolls messages received so that you
don't accidentally miss any messages and makes it easier to follow
conversations.

Is there a program that would allow the ouput of a rexx exec to scrool
continuously across the screen?
Thank you.
