Indeed, many of the resources on the LRS are provided by teachers. We do not intend on replicating all services on all servers. The role that each server has with respect to the TTA projects is evolving over time. At the present time, only the Gopher and WWW servers are intended for a global audience. The AppleShare and an FTP servers are intended for people associated with the TTA project only.
All servers also function to disseminate information about the TTA project.
Central to the notion of a shared knowledge space is that it is constructed jointly by the users themselves. In that regard, the LRS relies on resources provided by College of Education faculty, local teachers, graduate students, undergraduate students and other researchers on the Internet. This is facilitated by direct server access via AppleTalk for those providers that have been given access to the LRS servers. Furthermore, we expect to add links to other Internet resources as they pertain to the activities of the TTA participants and researchers. The LRS runs on a Macintosh Workgroup Server model 60.
