Staff from several NCSA groups planned the day-long events in Springfield. Developed as a prototype information system for the state's Education Technology Summit last year, ILM's Web pages offer the Illinois education database as well as Internet educational resources and exhibits. A calendar of events offers timely information about up-coming seminars and courses for students and teachers alike. The project, which is developed and maintained by NCSA's Education and Outreach Group in cooperation with Illinois Lt. Governor Bob Kustra's office, recently received two years of funding from the University of Illinois President's Office.
Staff are in discussions with possible collaborators to extend the resource to other states.
NCSA shared space on the computing list with 26 other organizations, mostly commercial. This is a good page for late-breaking Web news. The awards honor the use of technology for positive change in society. Chair of leading information technology companies made the nominations in nine categories based on innovation. Mosaic, nominated in the media, arts, and entertainment category, is among 268 nominees worldwide.
