MIT's Video Lecture Search Engine: Watch the video at --- http://web.sls.csail.mit.edu/lectures/
Researchers at MIT have released a video and audio search tool that solves one of the most challenging problems in the field: how to break up a lengthy academic lecture into manageable chunks, pinpoint the location of keywords, and direct the user to them. Announced last month, the MIT Lecture Browser website gives the general public detailed access to more than 200 lectures publicly available though the university's OpenCourseWare initiative. The search engine leverages decades' worth of speech-recognition research at MIT and other institutions to convert audio into text and make it searchable.

April 14, 2003 message from Seamus Fitzroy [englishjobmaze@mail.com]

Dear Bob,

I would like to submit for your consideration an ESL/EFL job & info site for possible inclusion in the 'Program Search' (or other relevant) section of your informative area of the Trinity website.

The English Job Maze (http://www.englishjobmaze.com) is an

International ESL/EFL job & information site for ESL/EFL teachers and schools around the world. But it is also much more than 'just another' ESL/EFL job site. It contains a wealth of free TESL industy-related info for teachers, including one of the largest ELT bookstores on the Internet, plus 'Countries @ a Glance' - the most comprehensive TESL guide to pay, taxes, visas, travel, etc, in 50 of the world's most popular teaching destinations.

I hope you find this site useful. Hundreds of ESL/EFL teachers, schools and university/college graduates around the world have told us they do.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Warm regards

Seamus Fitzroy

From The Scout Report on January 18, 2002

A+ Country Reports http://www.countryreports.org/

A fantastic resource for students, teachers, tourists, and anyone else interested in the globe, A+ Country Reports offers a wealth of information on all of the countries of the world. Like the CIA's World Factbook (last mentioned in the September 28, 2001 _Scout Report_ ), A+ Country Reports presents up-to-date information on population, geography, economy, history, and politics. Aside from that, however, the site presents a lively array of extras that don't figure in the CIA's matter of fact dossiers, things such as audio clips of national anthems and links to current weather reports. As the site itself boasts, through a list of quotes from current reviews, A+ Country Reports is particularly appealing to teachers and younger students, and it's obvious why it's appealing, given its attention to the kinds of details kids demand -- bright graphics, large fonts, and Flash-automated features among them. For those interested in sharing what they have learned or already know, there is also a discussion area and links to sites for further study.

FindTutorials http://www.findtutorials.com/

FindTutorials offers hundreds of tutorials and professional online IT and Softskills training courses that are available for a variety of disciplines and skill levels. In addition, it offers an online e-mail system, an IT job database with thousands of daily updated positions, and a host of additional resources on internet training skills. With simple to use navigational tools and a "sophisticated in-house developed site search", finding information to meet your requirements merely takes the click of a button.

From C-SPAM
Booknotes (with audio and video) http://www.booknotes.org

Booknotes,
C-SPAN's signature author interview program, has served as a forum for books about history, politics and public affairs for a dozen years. C-SPAN's unedited, commercial-free format, allows for an in-depth discussion with an author distinct from other author interview programs.
The format is simple: one author, one book, one hour. For a full hour every Sunday night, fifty-two weeks a year, an author discusses their recently-released work of non-fiction. Beyond the book's subject matter, authors are also queried about the writing process, about how and why they came to write their book and their own lives and influences. Authors may appear on Booknotes only once in their writing career.
The host of the program since its inception is C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb. With over 630 author interviews since 1989 consisting of heads of state, war correspondents, biographers, scholars, generals and peacemakers, Lamb's Booknotes provides a variety of perspectives for its viewers. Guests have included Colin Powell, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Neil Sheehan, Martin Gilbert, Jean Strouse, Betty Friedan, and Henry Louis Gates.
Mr. Lamb is also the author of three collections of Booknotes interviews, the latest of which is Booknotes: Stories from American History.
Writers and journalist have had this to say about the Booknotes program:
In a USA Today article, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Halberstam called the program "wonderful," adding it "connects serious writers in a highly-civilized way to serious readers out there."
The Los Angeles Times called the program "unique," stating "Long before Oprah discovered reading and the mass market for books, Brian Lamb was serving up a special kind of journalism that lets writers talk - and talk and talk - with little or no interruption."

C-SPAN, the political network of record, was created in 1979 by America's cable companies as a public service. C-SPAN is currently available in 82 million households, C-SPAN2 in 65 million households, and C-SPAN3 in nearly 4 million households nationwide. For more information about C-SPAN, visit our web site at c-span.org.

A Great Free Service for Researchers

From the University of Maryland Libraries --- http://www.lib.umd.edu/ENGIN/TechReports/Virtual-TechReports.html

The Virtual Technical Reports Center

EPrints, Preprints, & Technical Reports on the Web

Welcome to the Virtual Technical Reports Center! The Institutions listed here provide either full-text reports, or searchable extended abstracts of their technical reports on the World Wide Web. This site contains links to technical reports, preprints, reprints, dissertations, theses, and research reports of all kinds. Some metasites are listed by subject categories, as well as by institution. This site will be updated monthly. Please email the author, Gloria Lyles Chawla, gc9@umail.umd.edu,with suggestions for additional links.

I am making the presentation files and the audio files of CPE Session No. 1 available for free downloads at http://www.cs.trinity.edu/~rjensen/001cpe/01start.htm

The speakers are all on the leading edge of accounting and education technology. You can find out the latest updates from the radically-different distance education pedagogy of the new Canadian Chartered Accountancy School of Business, the online courses from UNext and Cardean University, the Prentice-Hall supplements for a popular basic accounting textbook, and the world's greatest effort to develop a knowledge portal (Fathom).

Wow Multimedia Site

Bob Jensen's threads on plagiarism are at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/plagiarism.htm

An Award Winning Copyright Website --- http://www.benedict.com/
Includes MP3 Audio, MPEG Video, an online service for obtaining a copyright for your Website materials, and advice for copyrights of software.

This portal provides real world, practical and relevant copyright information for anyone navigating the net. Launched on May Day '95, the Copyright Website strives to lubricate the machinations of information delivery. As spice is to Dune, information is to the Web; the spice must flow. Or, if you prefer another metaphor, take the blue pill and I'll show you just how deep the rabbit hole goes...

Drafting a Faculty Copyright Ownership Policy http://ts.mivu.org/default.asp?show=article&id=982

Many colleges and universities are either considering ways to revise their existing copyright policies or drafting new policies. A copyright policy encompasses both the use of copyrighted works owned by third parties and the ownership of works generated by faculty, staff and students within an institution. The purpose of an ownership policy should be to encourage research, scholarship and the dissemination of knowledge; thus, the ownership model the school adopts should further this purpose.

I got up earlier than Bob Jensen so you get this email from me instead of the other Bob.

The Web site below is very interesting on several levels.

http://www.CampusTours.com/

The site allows one to see a photo album of 800 college campuses.

From time to time I have the opportunity of going to a campus that I have not visited before. This web site allows the chance to "see" the campus before going.

It also shows what some schools are doing to "show off" their institution.

The campus tours site also lists those schools that have web cams, campus maps, videos, and VR tours. Trinity was one of the first to have a VR tour.

Give it a quick look if you like to see what the other guys are doing and look like.

**Projections of Education Statistics to 2011 --- http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfor.asp?pubid=2001083**
Total public and private elementary and secondary enrollment is projected to increase from 52.9 million in 1999 to 53.4 million in 2005. Then total enrollment is projected to decrease to 53.0 million by 2011, an overall increase of less than 1 percent from 1999 (table 1). Between 1999 and 2011, public elementary and secondary enrollment is projected to increase 8 percent in the West, while in the South it will increase 1 percent. In the Northeast and Midwest, enrollment is projected to decrease 4 and 3 percent, respectively, over the same period (table 5). Enrollment in degree-granting institutions is projected to increase from 14.8 million in 1999 to 17.7 million by 2011, an increase of 20 percent. A 16 percent increase is projected under the low alternative and a 23 percent increase is projected under the high alternative (table 10). High school graduates from public and private high schools are projected to increase from 2.8 million in 1998-99 to 3.1 million by 2010-11, an increase of 11 percent. This increase reflects the projected rise in the 18 year-old population (table 23). Between 1998-99 and 2010-11, the number of public high school graduates is projected to increase 20 percent in the West, while the South will increase 12 percent. The Northeast and the Midwest are projected to increase 11 and 2 percent, respectively, over the same period (table 24). The number of bachelor's degrees is expected to increase from 1,184,000 in 1997-98 to 1,392,000 by 2010-11, an increase of 18 percent (table 27). Under the middle alternative, a 34 percent increase in current expenditures for public elementary and secondary schools is projected for the period from 1998-99 to 2010-11. Under the low alternative, current expenditures are projected to increase by 29 percent; under the high alternative, current expenditures are projected to increase by 40 percent (table 33). Under the middle alternative, current expenditures per pupil in fall enrollment are forecast to increase 33 percent in constant dollars from 1998-99 to 2010-11 (table 33).

**The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS --- http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/**
Features IPEDS Web-Based Data Collection allows institutions to provide NCES with the required statistical data, replacing the paper survey forms that have been used in past years. IPEDS Peer Analysis System and Self-guided Tutorials enables a user to easily compare a LinchPin institution of the user�s choosing to a group of peer institutions, by generating reports using selected IPEDS variables of interest. IPEDS College Opportunities On-line (COOL) presents data on institution prices, financial aid, enrollment, and type of programs that are offered by the institution. IPEDS COOL is designed to help college students, future students, and their parents understand the differences between colleges and how much it costs to attend college.

College Opportunities Online --- http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cool/

IPEDS College Opportunities On-Line is your direct link to over 9,000 colleges and universities in the United States. If you are thinking about a large university, a small liberal arts college, a specialized college, a community college, a career or technical college or a trade school, you can find them all here.

College Opportunities On-Line is brought to you by the National Center for Education Statistics in the U.S. Department of Education. NCES was authorized by Congress in 1998 to help college students, future students, and their parents understand the differences between colleges and how much it costs to attend college.

College Opportunities On-Line helps you find out about a specific college or set of colleges, if you have some in mind. You can name the colleges and obtain information about them.

If you are not sure what colleges might be of interest, IPEDS COOL has the tools to help you search for a college. You can search for a college based on its location, program, or degree offerings either alone or in combination. The more criteria you specify, the smaller the number of colleges that will fit your criteria. Once you've found some colleges of interest, you can obtain important and understandable information on all of them.

Once you have determined the colleges that meet your interests, we urge you to obtain more information about them by visiting their web sites, writing for more information, or visiting the schools of your choice.

Warning: An institution's inclusion in IPEDS COOL does NOT imply approval of the institution or its programs by the U.S. Department of Education. Title IV eligible schools (those that participate in awarding Pell Grants and other federal financial aid) have recognized accreditation. This is important for acceptance of transfer credit or degree recognition.

From The Scout Report on February 22, 2002

Columbia Newsblaster http://www.cs.columbia.edu/nlp/newsblaster/

With a team of researchers headed by Prof. Kathy McKeown, Columbia Newsblaster is an online project at Columbia University's Department of Computer Science in the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Newsblaster currently looks at news reports from thirteen sources, including Yahoo, ABCNews, CNN, Reuters, Los Angeles Times, CBS News, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Virtual New York, Washington Post, Wired, and USA Today. The product uses artificial intelligence techniques to cull through news reports published online and then sorts and summarizes these reports in five different news categories -- US, world, finance, entertainment, and sports. These summaries are based on reflecting factors, such as where a fact is mentioned in the published reports and how often it is repeated across reports dealing with the same event or subject. They are also based on the news value of individual facts, such as how many were killed or injured, or how much damage to property occurred. On the whole, in an age of information overload, this newly developed tool may provide assistance to journalists, executives, and average news consumers.

A Title VI-funded project, the Portal to Asian Internet Resources (PAIR) offers scholars, students and the interested public more than six thousand professionally selected, cataloged and annotated online resources.

Committed to directing users to Asian area content in the humanities and social sciences, the PAIR Project is supported by an impressive complement of area studies scholars, bibliographers and subject selectors based at the libraries of the University of Wisconsin, the University of Minnesota and the Ohio State University.

With a primary mission of providing direct access to online Asian information in native languages and scripts, the PAIR Project team also hopes to broaden access by offering users a suite of instructional resources on the use of Asian character sets and search engines.

"Pride of the Yankees A new encyclopedia fleshes out the idea of New England," by Joseph Raga, The Wall Street Journal, November 9, 2005 --- http://www.opinionjournal.com/la/?id=110007521

In 1878, Thomas Gold Appleton, the scion of one of Boston's first families, published an essay called "The Kingdom of the Common-Place," in which he argued that New Englanders must reconcile themselves to "the fatal poison" of modernity. "The rail-road, steamer and telegraph have melted a whole continent into a tedious unity of customs and manners," he wrote, and "never again, we fear, will the air of New England coin itself into beauty and power."

As with any change, there was gain and loss. A new vitality and sense of national purpose may have been found, but a great deal of regional distinctiveness drained away. We see this most often in the South, bound up in the faded mythologies of the Lost Cause. But New England forfeited much of its unique character as well, or thought it had. More than a geographical definition, New England was an idea, or rather a constellation of ideas, constituting a way of life. It was centered on the Puritan mission to do God's work in the howling wilderness and the Yankee spirit of thrift, hard work, virtue and order. In the late 19th century, each seemed under siege. Thus Appleton's threnodic strains.

But of course his lament was premature. New England has endured, imagined and reimagined. And social and cultural historians have, over the past two decades, rethought the importance of regionalism in American life. Now we have a rich introduction to all that historical spadework, or at least its Northeastern variety, in "The Encyclopedia of New England." The book draws on the efforts of some 1,000 contributors and, spooled out over 1,564 pages, touches on a nearly boundless range of topics, from the textile mills of the Industrial Revolution to the Internet boom of the information age; from clamming to aquaculture; from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Robert Frost; from the Harvard-Yale game to the Boston Red Sox. The tidy entries are accessible to the general reader and end with suggested readings for further study.

It must be noted that the "Encyclopedia" is the product of a university press, and a certain amount of academic cant is evident, though generally limited to predictable topics. Was it really wise to devote more column inches to, say, "ecofeminism" than to either Henry Adams or John Winthrop? An entry for Bernie Sanders, Vermont's socialist congressman, but not Henry Wadsworth Longfellow?

Links to great photographs (Forwarded by Trey Dunn)

Dr. Jensen,

I have been collecting these for a while and finally am getting around to posting them. There are some pretty amazing pictures here. I am always enjoying your emails so much. I just thought I would pass these pictures on to you. I am sure you will find them as fascinating as I did.

-Trey

* This guy bought a book from a library used book sale. When he got it home inside he found a couple dozen pictures of Europe during World Wars. They are obviously taken from a plane as they flew over the war torn countryside.

www.trinity.edu/jdunn/BooksalePictures.htm

*I did know that there was color photography during World War I (1914-1918). But the French invented it, so they used it to document their battles. Here we have about 400 awesome pictures from this ancient war.

*A great collection of pictures of Germany before the war. They really show off the old world charm of Germany.

*In the 1920's, Hollywood was in its prime. This classical period has been preserved in photos by someone's grandfather who worked as a photographer for various Hollywood studios. There are some great pictures of actors and actresses as well as studio back lots.

Pastimes and Paradigms: Games We Play --- http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/games/index.html

The Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections investigates the evolution of games since 1800 through PASTIMES AND PRADIGMS : GAMES WE PLAY. The exhibition includes a wide variety of antique and contemporary games, as well as rare books on rules, strategies, and recreation. Featured items include early nineteenth-century geographical board games; a Civil War game; suffrage games that garnered support in the battle for women's votes; a vintage Monopoly game (the subject of Cornell President Jeffrey Lehman's first book); gambling punchboards; and a selection of games inspired by television programming.

Although they differ in design and presentation, they share a single message: the game is the medium.

Words Without Borders from The Online Magazine of International Literature, October 2003 --- http://www.wordswithoutborders.org/
(Foreign Languages, Literature, Culture, History, Poetry)

Borders and their crossings are the theme of our first three issues: genre-bending in Iran, partition surrounding North Korea, and in Iraq, the danger zone between inside and outside, as Sherko Fatah writes of smugglers and minefields on the border with Turkey; Muhsin al-Ramli of prisons real and metaphorical at the outset of the Iran-Iraq war; Najem Wali of a soldier in Basra on leave from that conflict in "Waltzing Matilda," and of the artist's relation to borders in "Homeland as Exile." In an excerpt from his novel Outcast and in his interview with translator Ammiel Alcalay, Iraqi-born Jewish writer Shimon Ballas defies the boundary between Jew and Muslim; while from a historical perspective, Maria Rosa Menocal harkens back to "The Culture of Translation" in medieval Baghdad and Spain, recalling the fluidity of boundaries between "East" and "West." Poems by Nazik al-Mala'ika, Saadi Youssef, and Badr Shakir as-Sayab (with a contemporary response by Palestinian Mahmoud Darwish) explore departure and loss as they seek a safe haven in language.

From C-SPAM
Booknotes (with audio and video) http://www.booknotes.org

Booknotes,
C-SPAN's signature author interview program, has served as a forum for books about history, politics and public affairs for a dozen years. C-SPAN's unedited, commercial-free format, allows for an in-depth discussion with an author distinct from other author interview programs.

The format is simple: one author, one book, one hour. For a full hour every Sunday night, fifty-two weeks a year, an author discusses their recently-released work of non-fiction. Beyond the book's subject matter, authors are also queried about the writing process, about how and why they came to write their book and their own lives and influences. Authors may appear on Booknotes only once in their writing career.

The host of the program since its inception is C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb. With over 630 author interviews since 1989 consisting of heads of state, war correspondents, biographers, scholars, generals and peacemakers, Lamb's Booknotes provides a variety of perspectives for its viewers. Guests have included Colin Powell, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Neil Sheehan, Martin Gilbert, Jean Strouse, Betty Friedan, and Henry Louis Gates.

Mr. Lamb is also the author of three collections of Booknotes interviews, the latest of which is Booknotes: Stories from American History.

Writers and journalist have had this to say about the Booknotes program:

In a USA Today article, Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Halberstam called the program "wonderful," adding it "connects serious writers in a highly-civilized way to serious readers out there."
The Los Angeles Times called the program "unique," stating "Long before Oprah discovered reading and the mass market for books, Brian Lamb was serving up a special kind of journalism that lets writers talk - and talk and talk - with little or no interruption."

C-SPAN, the political network of record, was created in 1979 by America's cable companies as a public service. C-SPAN is currently available in 82 million households, C-SPAN2 in 65 million households, and C-SPAN3 in nearly 4 million households nationwide. For more information about C-SPAN, visit our web site at c-span.org.

MIT's Video Lecture Search Engine: Watch the video at --- http://web.sls.csail.mit.edu/lectures/
Researchers at MIT have released a video and audio search tool that solves one of the most challenging problems in the field: how to break up a lengthy academic lecture into manageable chunks, pinpoint the location of keywords, and direct the user to them. Announced last month, the MIT Lecture Browser website gives the general public detailed access to more than 200 lectures publicly available though the university's OpenCourseWare initiative. The search engine leverages decades' worth of speech-recognition research at MIT and other institutions to convert audio into text and make it searchable.

From the Mathematical Association of America: Innovative Teaching Exchange
The purpose of the Exchange is to allow people teaching mathematics at the college level to share new methods they have tried, invented, or discovered, which they feel help the students learn better and/or more easily. The intention is to encourage more experimentation with more methods than the traditional lecture/questions method. While the editor of the Exchange tries to see to it that articles are well-written and contain at least enough detail that readers can decide whether they're interested in trying the method, she doesn't necessarily endorse all suggested activities, nor does the MAA - that is, caveat emptor. All articles in the Exchange will include contact information for their authors. Since the articles are short, you might wish to contact the writer for further details or advice before trying the ideas in your class.

Mathemajician Arthur Benjamin

I went to middle school in North Mankato, Minnesota. During a one-time visit by a very distant relative I was dumbfounded by the fact that he could look at any six-digit license plate and, in his head, take the square root of the number. With pencil and paper I checked him out a couple of times for accuracy. I don't even remember his name.

Equally phenomenal is Arthur Benjamin!

Calculators, computers, and Arthur Benjamin are limited by the number of significant digits that can be stored.

Significant Digits --- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_Digits
Scientific notation makes it possible to eliminate some zeros from having to be counted as significant digits.

In school we learned about using logarithms to simplify exponentiation. But when using logarithms, calculators and computers are still limited by the number of significant digits that can be stored.

Excel is limited to 15 significant digits which means that it cannot deal with most large and small numbers (speakers on) --- Click Here

Super computers can store a vast number of significant digits and mathematicians develop distributed computing algorithms to extend the number of significant digits that can be computed on super computers.

Prime Number --- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Number

The following was a January 5, 2006 tidbit --- http://www.trinity.edu/%7Erjensen/tidbits/2006/tidbits060105.htm

The primal urges of mathematicians
Researchers at a Missouri university have identified the largest known prime number, officials said Tuesday. The team at Central Missouri State University, led by associate dean Steven Boone and mathematics professor Curtis Cooper, found it in mid-December after programming 700 computers years ago. A prime number is a positive number divisible by only itself and 1 � 2, 3, 5, 7 and so on. The number that the team found is 9.1 million digits long. It is a Mersenne prime known as M30402457 � that's 2 to the 30,402,457th power minus 1. Mersenne primes are a special category expressed as 2 to the "p" power minus 1, in which "p" also is a prime number. "We're super excited," said Boone, a chemistry professor. "We've been looking for such a number for a long time."
Garance Birke, "Mo. Researchers Find Largest Prime Number," Yahoo News, January 4, 2006 --- http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060104/ap_on_sc/largest_prime_number

I don't think that either Arthur Benjamin or Dustin Hoffman as Raymond Babbit can store that number in his head.

"Spreadsheets in Education�The First 25 Years," by John E Baker Director, Natural Maths john@naturalmaths.com.au and Stephen J Sugden School of Information Technology, Bond University ssugden@bond.edu.au , July 24, 2003 --- http://www.sie.bond.edu.au/articles/1.1/bakersugden.pdf

Spreadsheets made their first appearance for personal computers in 1979 in the form of VisiCalc [45], an application designed to help with accounting tasks. Since that time, the diversity of applications of the spreadsheet program is evidenced by its continual reappearance in scholarly journals. Nowhere is its application becoming more marked than in the field of education. From primary to tertiary levels, the spreadsheet is gradually increasing in its importance as a tool for teaching and learning. By way of an introduction to the new electronic journal Spreadsheets in Education, the editors have compiled this overview of the use of spreadsheets in education. The aim is to provide a comprehensive bibliography and springboard from which others may develop their own applications and reports on educational applications of spreadsheets. For despite its rising popularity, the spreadsheet has still a long way to go before becoming a universal tool for teaching and learning, and many opportunities for its application have yet to be explored. The basic paradigm of an array of rows-and-columns with automatic update and display of results has been extended with libraries of mathematical and statistical functions, versatile graphing and charting facilities, powerful add-ins such as Microsoft Excel�s Solver, attractive and highlyfunctional graphical user interfaces, and the ability to write custom code in languages such as Microsoft�s Visual Basic for Applications. It is difficult to believe that Bricklin, the original creator of VisiCalc could have imagined the modern form of the now ubiquitous spreadsheet program. But the basic idea of the electronic spreadsheet has stood the test of time; indeed it is nowadays an indispensable item of software, not only in business and in the home, but also in academe. This paper briefly examines the history of the spreadsheet, then goes on to give a survey of major books, papers and conference presentations over the past 25 years, all in the area of educational applications of spreadsheets.

From Purdue University: Teaching Engineering
In 1983 we developed and taught for the first time a graduate course, Educational Methods for Engineers, geared toward Ph.D. candidates who were interested in an academic career. Our sources came from a variety of disciplines, journals, and books because we immediately noticed that no textbook was available which focused solely on engineering. Classic texts such as Highet�s and McKeachie�s became starting points and we scoured the literature for what was available in engineering. With a grant from the National Science Foundation in 1990 we expanded the course to include all of engineering, conducted a summer workshop, and began this book much earlier than we otherwise could have. Although the writing of this book was supported by NSF, all of the views in this book are the authors� and do not represent the views of either the National Science Foundation or Purdue University.

**Projections of Education Statistics to 2011 --- http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfor.asp?pubid=2001083**
Total public and private elementary and secondary enrollment is projected to increase from 52.9 million in 1999 to 53.4 million in 2005. Then total enrollment is projected to decrease to 53.0 million by 2011, an overall increase of less than 1 percent from 1999 (table 1). Between 1999 and 2011, public elementary and secondary enrollment is projected to increase 8 percent in the West, while in the South it will increase 1 percent. In the Northeast and Midwest, enrollment is projected to decrease 4 and 3 percent, respectively, over the same period (table 5). Enrollment in degree-granting institutions is projected to increase from 14.8 million in 1999 to 17.7 million by 2011, an increase of 20 percent. A 16 percent increase is projected under the low alternative and a 23 percent increase is projected under the high alternative (table 10). High school graduates from public and private high schools are projected to increase from 2.8 million in 1998-99 to 3.1 million by 2010-11, an increase of 11 percent. This increase reflects the projected rise in the 18 year-old population (table 23). Between 1998-99 and 2010-11, the number of public high school graduates is projected to increase 20 percent in the West, while the South will increase 12 percent. The Northeast and the Midwest are projected to increase 11 and 2 percent, respectively, over the same period (table 24). The number of bachelor's degrees is expected to increase from 1,184,000 in 1997-98 to 1,392,000 by 2010-11, an increase of 18 percent (table 27). Under the middle alternative, a 34 percent increase in current expenditures for public elementary and secondary schools is projected for the period from 1998-99 to 2010-11. Under the low alternative, current expenditures are projected to increase by 29 percent; under the high alternative, current expenditures are projected to increase by 40 percent (table 33). Under the middle alternative, current expenditures per pupil in fall enrollment are forecast to increase 33 percent in constant dollars from 1998-99 to 2010-11 (table 33).

Suggestions for Forming and Maintaining an Educational Technology Support Facility Many universities do not have adequate support facilities for training faculty in new technologies and technical support teams for course adaptations to new technologies. George Culp from the University of Texas at Austin provides some helpful guides for "Establishing a Center for Instructional Technologies" as reported in in pp. 34-36 in the June 1999 edition of Syllabus (the online version is not yet online, but it will soon be posted to http://www.syllabus.com/ ). The article also discusses innovative ways of funding such a center.

EDUCAUSE Effective Practices and Solutions --- http://www.educause.edu/ep/

EDUCAUSE has developed this Effective Practices and Solutions (EPS) service to

offer you a way to easily share the practices and solutions you have implemented on your campus that you have found to be effective in managing and using information technology;
provide an information service to help you learn "who is doing what" among your colleagues to solve common challenges; and
bring your practice or solution to the attention of the planners of EDUCAUSE professional development activities, who are always looking for interesting new content and contributors for publications and conferences.

This service is entirely member-driven; its success depends on your willingness to share your successes with your colleagues to help them save time and resources. The more practices contributed to the service, the more valuable it will become. Please note that practices in the EPS database have been identified as effective and replicable by their contributors; their value has not been judged by EDUCAUSE.

A great many federal sites, which include organizations like NASA, the Department of Energy and the Department of the Interior, list publications on a wide range of topics, including adult literacy, drug-free schools, and education statistics and analyses.
MIT recently received $11 million from the Andrew M. Mellon Foundation and the William and Flora Hewlitt Foundation to fund the first phase of the MIT Open Courseware project, which makes its course material available for free on the Web.
Classroom Connect provides a list of links to U.S. K-12 schools' Web sites, organized by state and school level (elementary, middle or secondary) at http://connectedteacher.classroom.com/library/states.asp.
Many publisher sites contain general lesson plans, student activities, professional development information, links to other sites, etc. Some of these include: Holt, Reinhart and Winston (www.eduplace.com), Scholastic, Inc. (www.scholastic.com) and Glencoe/McGraw Hill (www.glencoe.com).
The Lesson Plans Page is a collection of more than 1,100 lesson plans, primarily for the elementary grades, developed at the University of Missouri (www.lessonplanspage.com).
Articles and topics on how to narrow the list of vendors for e-learning, and topics such as "What's Learning Like," "How to Choose and Take an Online Course" and others can be found at www.iguide.com.
EduHound, a service of T.H.E. Journal, LLC operated by Judith Rajala, suggests many interesting Web sites and methods of presentation on topics studied in elementary school (www.eduhound.com).
The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), through its program, "Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology" (PT3) helps teachers become better informed by providing access to activities, accomplishments, findings and other relevant information. Also, at the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) held in Chicago in June 2001, a new Web-based project was introduced that helps educators with technology evaluation and research. The Center for Applied Research in Educational Technology (CARET) selects and reviews research studies that address topics that can be helpful in making school planning decisions (www.iste.org).

At present, a great deal of information is free on the Web. But how long it remains free is in question. For example, a bill is now pending before the U.S. House of Representatives that could force the U.S. Department of Energy to end Pub Sciences, its Web database that allows scientists to search abstracts and citations from more than 1,000 scientific journals. Universities are now charging for the use of their resources. The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is selling a program it developed to provide the school's faculty and senior students with Web-based access to financial data from such providers as Dow Jones and Co., Standard and Poor's and Thomson Financial Services. They claim 55 clients, including 21 of the top 25 ranked business schools.

Community College Open-Textbook Project Gets Under Way
Especially note the open sharing sources being used

The Community College Open Textbook Project begins this week with a member meeting in California," by Catherine Rampell, Chronicle of Higher Education, April 29, 2008 --- Click Here

At the meeting, representatives of institutions around the country will start reviewing open-textbook models for �quality, usability, accessibility, and sustainability,� according to a news release. They will initially review four providers of free online educational resources: Connexions, run by Rice University; Flat World Knowledge, a commercial digital-textbook publisher that will begin offering free textbooks online next year; the University of California�s UC College Prep Online, which offers Advanced Placement and other courses online; and the Community College Consortium for Open Educational Resources, which was founded by the Foothill-De Anza Community College District and the League for Innovation in the Community College.

The open-textbook project was paid for by a $530,000 grant to the Foothill-De Anza Community College District from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.

Bob Jensen lists other free online textbooks in various disciplines, including accounting textbooks, cases, and free online tutorials, at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/ElectronicLiterature.htm#Textbooks

Dear Mr. Jensen,

First and foremost, I�d like to take this opportunity to congratulate you for your excellent listings of resources.

My name is Silvio Branco and I am a Content Editor at Babylon Ltd., a translation software company.

Babylon launched a free Business Terms Lookup that comprises more than 10 dictionaries, among others, such well known titles as Campbell R. Harvey's Hypertextual Finance Glossary, MONASH Marketing Dictionary, and the European Central Bank Glossary, and which I thought could contribute to your already detailed references.

The following is the link to it: http://www.babylon.com/define/22/Business-Dictionary.html

I hope you like both of our free services and I would appreciate if you could mention them on your site by including the respective links.

With best regards,

Silvio Branco

Hello Professor Robert E. Jensen,

I was browsing your website which I found extremely useful; with plenty of French resources.

I would suggest to you a lyrics website: http://www.greatsong.net/ to be added to your list "Scroll for Bob Jensen's Web Documents and Other Links" at http://www.trinity.edu/rjensen/ or at any page of your website, you think it might be useful.

http://www.greatsong.net is a wonderful website that may help learn French language, contains more than 2 million songs, Lyrics of more than 500.000 French songs both old and contemporary, 50,000 translations (English / French) and it is one of the most popular and visited websites in this area of interest.

I hope that this site will held your attention, and be beneficial and helpful to your students and visitors.

Best Regards,

Frederic Boudouin fredericboudouin@yahoo.fr

"Busting the New Breed of Plagiarist," by Michael Bugeja at http://awpwriter.org/bugeja1.htm

The Berkeley plagiarism-detection program --- Go to http://www.plagiarism.org/ Also see
http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9911/21/plagerism.detective/index.html

Proven Results. Our proprietary plagiarism detection algorithms* have successfully been used in multiple classes at U.C. Berkeley and abroad.

Powerful Methods. Our computational processes for 'finger-printing' papers and determining degrees of originality will detect plagiarism.

Speed. We can 'finger-print' and evaluate thousands of papers each day.

Extensive Database. Our extensive and growing database of term papers will deter your students from plagiarizing other work.

Easy To Use. We make every effort to customize the service's web page so that our plagiarism deterring technology is a non-technical seamless addition to your classes.

Increases Quality. Instructors report that the quality of their students' work increases when they know that manuscripts will be checked for originality.

Increases Student Morale. Students themselves report that unchecked cheating and plagiarism by others undermines their own efforts and educational enthusiasm.

The purpose of this service is to insure that term papers, essays, and manuscripts, which are submitted as a requirement for a university or college course, are never plagiarized. This means that papers will never again be recirculated/recycled every year, that papers will not be copied from one class and used for a different class, that papers from one university will not find their way to another university course, and that papers acquired from the Internet will NEVER be used to fulfill a course requirement.

An instructor registers his/her class with Plagiarism.org. Each instructor then requests that her/his students upload their term papers or manuscripts to the Plagiarism.org web site.

Each student in the instructor's course accesses the Plagiarism.org web site.

From the web site students can upload their work into our database designed specifically for their particular class. Students can also access information regarding plagiarism and information concerning intellectual property.

Our proprietary technology converts each manuscript into an abstract representation; essentially, we 'finger-print' each paper.

Each term paper submitted for a class requirement is statistically checked against a database of other manuscripts collected from different universities, classes, and from all-over the Internet. Only cases of gross plagiarism are flagged. This means that papers using some identical quotes or papers written on similar topics will NEVER be flagged as unoriginal.

A report is then emailed (or mailed) to the instructor detailing the degrees of originality for each paper checked with Plagiarism.org.

The fees, which I find reasonable for this remarkable service, are described below:

Our offer is simple. To insure that only interested parties use our service there is a one-time, $20.00 (US) fee to create an account with us. This account can be used to upload 30 different manuscripts. We will email you a link to a confidential webpage containing an exact numerical analysis of each manuscript's originality. If any manuscripts were plagiarized you will know. After an account has been created, there will be a small charge of $0.50 for every manuscript, after 30, subsequently analyzed.

The links below were provided in T.H.E. Journal, September 1999, pg. 50.

Miscellaneous Interesting Sites

Study and/or Teach Abroad

One of the most phenomenal Internet industries is the travel industry. Although most of the transactions are for airline and hotel bookings, there are some phenomenal and innovative sites that offer more services. This week I will feature some of the more innovative sites.

GoAbroad.com --- http://www.goabroad.com/
This site is deeply rooted in services to academe. One of the main founders, Troy Peden, is a former Study Abroad Coordinator at the University of Colorado at Denver. The site is heavily focused upon over 14,000 study abroad package deals, although there are many other package deals for teaching, internships, language study, and volunteer work.
