The InterNIC and LITA announce the 15 Minute Series!
The InterNIC and the Library and Information Technology Association
(LITA), a division of the American Library Association, are pleased to
announce the availability of the 15 Minute Series, collection of free,
modular, and extensible training materials for the research and education
community. Available in both Microsoft PowerPoint and HTML, the training
modules offer mini slide presentations on specific Internet topics and use a
question-and-answer approach to present the subject. Each module follows a
consistent outline and style guide, which enables the modules to be
used alone or in conjunction with other modules, depending on the training
task at hand. Trainers are welcome to extend the modules to address
specific local issues such as operating platforms, client software, and
access methods; templates (in both HTML and PowerPoint) are provided for
trainers who wish to do so. Twenty-one modules, prepared by the InterNIC
staff, are currently available; they incorporate graphics, screen shots,
and analogies. The collection is expected to grow in the coming months,
and the InterNIC and LITA will be issuing a call for participation inviting
members of the research and education community to contribute modules for
inclusion in the 15 Minute Series. The 15 Minute Series website includes
background and introductory information, technical tips and recommendations
for use, and search and browse features. All modules are provided from the
website in HTML and PowerPoint; the PowerPoint modules are also available
via anonymous ftp.
