Your easiest bet is the EZPIX box from Covid, Inc.  It will automatically
recognize whether you have a MAC or IBM/DOS VGA display going to the
projector.  It has a multiheaded cable to interconnect between the computer
and the projector adapter.  You then can run a multicoaxial cable between
the adapter box and your projector.  The cable is available from Covid too.
Covid's telephone number is 1-800-638-6104.  They are located in Tempe, AZ.

Other manufacturers are Extron and Inline.  They offer boxes that do the
same basic thing.

I did a 20 min video segment in a large(500) Intro to Computers -type
course about 15 years ago and got mixed reviews from the students (about
half liked it...).

The thing the students liked most was that the video was braadcast thru the
student TV channel in blocks just before exams so they had a chance to use
TV to review.

The thing I liked best was I got to make a video of me interacting with a
group of interested faculty who wanted to learn more about computers. It
was much more fun teaching a small group of highly motivated learners than
lecturing to a large group many of whom were there under duress. Besides, I
was over 10 feet tall on the projection screen --- talk about a big man on
campus!

Debbie:  Apart from tables and figures, the only tedious aspect to using
APA style is the reference list.  WP Citation is a data base program that
works with DOS Word Perfect 5.1.  Once you have entered basic information
into the data base, you can select the appropriate references for a
particular paper, and the program will generate a bibliography or
reference list appropriate to APA or any one of dozens of other available
styles.  I don't recall who publishes it, but it works very nicely.

Subject:      Multimedia Video

Search for educational videos with good reputations for use
in experimentation.

I am a PhD research student in the Institute of Educational
Technology at the Open University, Milton Keynes, England.
I am investigating the possible uses and benefits of
'multimedia video' and am looking for a video that teachers
already use and think highly of in order to build a
multimedia version to experiment with.  Since I want to
test the product in schools as part of the students
existing course I shall only be able to consider videos
that are used in England.

Multimedia video is video that is displayed on a computer
screen - integrated with other computerised medias such as
animations, text and sound. The addition of 'video windows'
in such a learning environment has great potential, and is
the inevitable next step forward in educational, training
and recreational computing. This type of video used in
computing is stored as digital information on either CDs or
hard disks.  The benefit of this digital video is that any
video sections may be used at anytime within the computer
programme with no winding of tape, and they may be used as
part of an overall package, integrated with text and
pictures already on the screen, without the student putting
aside what they are doing.

I am researching into how video is best used in this new
role, and am looking to run a series of experiments to find
out exactly what happens.  I intend to take an existing
video (as described below) and create a multimedia
programme that is equivalent.  I then intend to do a series
of observation and interview experiments with students
using both the original video and multimedia version.
It is important that the video I am to work with is one
that is effective - that is partly writing to you, since I
want to find a video that you consider to be useful and
well made.  Ideally the video should fit as many of the
points below

- entirely covers an argument,
- has text based notes accompanying it,
- is one that the student would be going to use,
- is not too entangled and cross referenced with other
parts of the course,
- is fairly short and to the point,
- is competently made and effective,
- deals with something that benefits from being visual and
- complex enough to warrant being used with video and
multimedia. (a science topic perhaps.)

If you can suggest any video that you think may be
appropriate I will be very grateful, of if you know of (or
are involved with) any relevant research in this area
please let me know.

Thank you very much for your help.

Subject:      Need Help With IIe Modem

Organization: Virginia's Public Education Network

I have posted a similar notice to this one without much
success, so thought I would try one time more here.  I hope you
can help.

Has anyone had any experience with the DataLink 2400 internal
modem?  I am trying to use this modem in Apple IIe machines
(enhanced), but am having a great deal of trouble.  After the
modem connects, a continuous stream of random characters
appears on the screen.  I have tried everything I know to
correct the situation, but nothing has helped.

I swapped one DataLink modem for the other.  I changed the
modem to a different IIe.  I switched phone lines, even going
to different buildings.  I changed communications software.  I
called different BBS's.  I altered the software settings in
every possible ways, thinking it might be a parity problem, etc.

Nothing has changed the amount of "garbage flow" in any way.
It is a really frustrating problem.

If you know of an answer, or just wish to suggest a possible
solution, I would certainly like to hear from you.

Thanks for your help.

Subject:      Re: Video Projectors and Macintosh ??

We connect a Mac II, LC, etc to a Sony three-beam projector
(model uncertain) using an interface from Extron.  They are
one of the biggest in making all manner of computer to
projection (including LCD panels) device interfaces.  I think
 ours in a model 108B, but could be wrong.  I can check it
out if it matters.  Sorry, I'm not familiar with the specific
Sony model mentioned in the original query.
BTW, the same interface also works for DOS systems up to
standard VGA at least, just for the cost of the appropriate
cable.
Extron products are widely available from dealers, or I can look
up their direct address if needed.

Yes, you need a black box to get from the computer's video to the
RGB/SYNC inputs of your projector.  The boxes vary in features and cost.
You can get ones that will convert the signal for only one type of
computer, or ones that work over a range of computer video signals. For
example, a CGA box will not work with a VGA output, but a variable
frequency box will...you just have to pay more.  So, you can get a box
for just the Mac, or one that will work for the Mac and a variety of
MS-DOS video sources...CGA, EGA and VGA.  If you really want to splurge,
you can get a box that deals with Sun equipment and NeXT equipment.

My favorite black box comes from Extron Electronics.  They make a bunch
of models, probably two or three that will do what you are looking for.
Depends on what other features you are looking for.  I just gave them a
call at the number below. They'll be glad to send you a catalog.

Pat Burns and Dave Zachmann

This is the first in a bimonthly series of
newsletters dealing with computing and
networking in public education. This
newsletter is intended to be a forum for
the presentation and discussion of gen
eral activities in computing and network
ing, specifically targeted towards the K-
12 community. This newsletter is an out
growth of a project at Colorado State
University funded by the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory. The purpose of the
project is to assist the K-12 community
in incorporating computing and net
working in their curricula, as a mecha
nism to enhance and extend the
educational experience.
The project is jointly directed by Drs. Pat
Burns and Dave Zachmann. Dr. Burns is
a Professor in the Department of
Mechanical Engineering and Dr. Zach
mann is a Professor in the Department of
Mathematics. Dr. Burns is also the Prin
cipal Investigator of the Westnet regional
network, which provides digital data net
working for the states of Arizona, Colo
rado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming,
and southern Idaho. One particular
emphasis, unanimously supported by all
in Westnet, continues to be the extension
of the network to the K-12 community.
Dr. Burns teaches the Freshman Intro
duction to Engineering course at Colo
rado State University, which heavily
involves computing and networking. Dr.
Zachmann is the Coordinator of
Advanced Technical Computing at Colo
rado State University, and is active in the
use of visualization in computational
systems. Both are fully committed to the
concept that computing and networking
can significantly impact the quality of K-
12 education.

Ron,

You need to check with EXTRON Corp. They build interface boxes that will handle
your needs. You might try checking with a "good" industrial video/AV dealer in
your area. Good hunting!

Teacher Support Software (out of Florida, somewhere) has a program called Seman
tic Mapper that one of our teachers uses. If you know anyone from a local schoo
l district that has a software catalog collection I'll bet they have a TSS cata
log. -Sharon Campbell (smcamp01.ulkyvma)
