You can press Alt K simultaneously to activiate the kermit
command, then you can choose send or get files. I assume that
your network also uses kermit for file transfer.

Isn't there some kind of SHIFT-TYPE key you can press to make another key
function as a PG-DWN??  (I thought there was)

I read in the most recent MacUser that there is a little known release
of System 6 that works on Classics, LCs, and PowerBook 100s.

I don't have the issue in front of me, but I think it is System 6.0.8L.

It is not widely available but some persistence by the user community
has worked before!   Anyone know more?

I have been invited by the program chairman of the 5th International Conference
 on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI '93) to organize a parallel or interactive
 session on Social Aspects of HCI.  HCI '93 will be held August 8-13, 1993, at
 the Hilton at Walt Disney World Village,Orlando, Florida, USA.  To acknowledge
 the International Space Year (and my own long-term interests in this area), I
 would like to propose a session (presentations and/or interactive discussions
 of work in progress) entitled, "Electronic Environments for Long-Duration
 Space Flight: Social Aspects of HCI in Space."

If you are interested in participating in either a presentation or a discussion
 session on this topic, please contact me by November 2, 1992 with your name,
 affiliation, and a brief (< 50 words) description of your proposed
 contribution.  I will be contacting all respondents regarding acceptance and
 presentation of the session as soon as possible after December 1, 1992.  Thank
 you for your interest and ideas.  Please distribute this notice to anyone you
 may consider interested and knowledgeable in this area.

I don't know that youwould want to spend time looking at the Masters
Program at the University of Oregon.

It used to be the finest in the nation, but the bureaucrats, in all
their wisdom,  decided that they should shut down the Teacher Education
division which also eliminated the curriculum and instruction department,
the TAG program and the Computers in Education.

I know this because I just finished my PhD at Oregon and it was a terrible
thing to see such an exemplary program dashed to nothing.

You might look at the program at the University of Northern Iowa or Iowa
State University.

The following is a response to Michael Moore's topic abstract concerning
the question of theory in Distance Education:

        We would like to acknowledge a distinction between a scientific
        definition of theory and those found in education. An educational
        theory is looser in its definition, and might include:
                - explanation of phenomenon
                - a position
                - a philosophical construct
                - a model
                - proposed guidelines
        rather than an hypothesis to be proven right or wrong.

>I am interested in a software package that will record usage statistics for

I am looking for the same thing.  What I envision as being the most helpful
is an extension on each mac that prompts the user for their ID number at
startup and then logs their ID number, the date, the time an application
and/or document (via the file type/creator flags) is opened and quitted,
and calculates the time spent on that application and/or document.  This
log, of course, should be delimited such that it can be analyzed in a
database or spreadsheet program.

The second part would be an application that could be configured to poll
the lab machines at specified intervals (such as monthly) and dump the
individual logs into one file that could then be analyzed. The program
would also clear the logs on the lab machines after polling, if so desired.

I know that there are products to do similar tasks for software running
from a server, but let's face it, LocalTalk simply lacks the bandwidth and
speed to run very big applications from a server.

Does anyone have suggestions or desire to develop such a program that could
be distributed as freeware or shareware?  It needs to at least be
affordable for already financially strapped school districts and
universities.

TCU has discontinued the use of acetate rolls on overhead projectors.
They proved to be more trouble than they were worth.  We use clear
aectate sheets which are reusebable.   Other means of OH use include
LCD panels, visual presenters, computer graphic generated OH trans-
parencies, thermofax transparencies.  Acetate rolls become too
dirty and seem to jam most of the time.

Subject: planning: issues

I'd like to start by finding out what issues regarding the
future of your distance education institution/department
are bugging you the most at the moment. You can do this in two
ways: put them in the conference, or send them to me as an e-mail,
and I'll collect them together/group them. I'll start off by
listing what is causing the Open learning Agency to review
its plans:
        1.      'Formula' funding; we are being treated more or
                less the same as all the other institutions
                regarding funding of at least our 'base-line'
                from our Ministry, despite growing concern
                about the need for major changes in our post-secondary
                system to meet growing demand and a ceiling on
                public funds.
        2.      Related to this is the pressure from the 'regular'
                institutions to solve the access problem by building
                more campuses: more bums on seats. The council of
                colleges and institutes (AECBC) has just produced
                a paper on access which reinforces this pressure.
                Because a campus is a physical asset in a community,
                such pressure carries a good deal of weight politically.
I'll stop there. When we have a number of 'common' issues, we can
start discussing how to deal with them.

Fellow users:

I have two unrelated needs.

1.   I am looking for a TSR program that will allow me full use
     of a PC via terminal access (keyboard and monitor) through
     the serial port.  I have two applications for this setup: 1)
     remote access from an observatory to a PC (safe) in a room
     below; 2) remote access from a lab to a PC in an adjacent
     office.

2.   I am reviewing course or classroom scheduling programs that
     run on a PC.  I need to handle 3000 students, 300
     instructors, and 300 rooms.  I need the ability to lock
     rooms and/or instructors to specific classes and/or to
     specific instructors(team teaching) and/or to specific
     times.  Please forward the name and source of any program
     that I might consider.
