One system transmits whatever the professor writes on a specially equipped white board directly to student computers. Information can be saved, transferred to the Web, and easily accessed later. Like Wicks, Donaldson hopes to use this Web-based instruction to widen SPU's reach. Now we have the means to deliver education anywhere. Students can post resumes and do job searches.
Alumni can access the site to publicize jobs, offer mentoring, or seek employment.
Screened employers have instant access to the kinds of students or graduates they need. This hugely expands the Center's effectiveness, says Director Jacqui Smith-Bates. Before jobnet, students had to come to us during regular business hours and much of the work was done on paper. There was no central database. Now there's a Web tool designed especially for them.
