If you work for a company that makes a product, you'll draw more flames than orders if you try to use the net to advertise that product. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Advertising that's OK There are a couple of exceptions. In some musical groups, very few people will object if you advertise a home-made or home-distributed recording your band has made (but see below for excsgroups. Look there to find out where the "marketplace" and "forsale" groups are. When you touch on the sensitive area of advertising it's all too easy to earn a reputation for being dishonest, when all you really are is ignorant. Save your reputation ba newsgroup called rec.music.makers.marketplace and it's a good bet that your offer of a synthesizer for sale will not be welcome on rec.music.makers.synth. There is a List of Active Newsgroups available on news.answers that lists the active Usenet newec.arts.marching.drumcorps or talk.politics.tibet is a waste of time. But there's a subtler point. Many of the Usenet hierarchies have a special "marketplace" newsgroup. It's safe to assume that any related group does NOT want ads. For example, there's he prospect of junk-email frightening: there are companies and organizations who would pull their workers off the net rather than subject them to such misuse of company resources. And you hardly need to be told that advertising a bicycle for sale in r--------------------------- Appropriate Forums Sending out email to every listserv and Usenet newsgroup has already been covered in Map 9: Spamming and Urban Legends. Don't do it. There are companies who sell mailing lists of email addresses. We find thical dealings, but if you're sleazy enough to think these are good ideas, please be aware that there are folks on the net who delight in exposing scams of this sort, and you'll be found out in short order. ---------------------------------------------ybody should have one. A while later on another group A reappears with another question, and sure enough, product Q from R Software is the answer to the world's ills. We haven't the slightest idea why a company would risk earning a reputation for unetd to musical groups, either. A well-known scenario has person A ask a question like "what's the best product to do W?" Shortly afterward, person B replies that the new offering P from R Software solves that problem, is cheap and easy to install, and evero say are rave reviews of new CDs. And all the artists he raves about record for the same major label. After not too much detective work it turns out that our hero works for (now let's not always see the same hands) the record label. It's not restrictea new form of advertising that's showing up on some of the musical newsgroups. Someone will post a message giving a rave review of the new CD by group X. A while later he'll rave about group Y and artist Z. It turns out that the only thing he ever has topy. Often the person answering will say something like "Blatant commercial plug:" so he's not accused of being deceptive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deception Deception is another matter entirely. There's d exception is if somebody asks an technical question such as "Who makes an Ada compiler for the MIL-STD-1750A processor?" it's generally considered OK to answer "We do" and to give a point of contact. Just make sure your posting is information, not ad cthe business of selling them, that's probably over the line. A second exception is on the Web. If your company has a homepage, websurfers who call it up would be offended if you didn't have information on your products, distributors, and so on. A thireptions). And if you have one computer or bicycle to sell, it's OK to advertise it in the appropriate Usenet newsgroup (e.g., misc.forsale.computers.pc- clone, rec.bicycles.marketplace). If you have a warehouse full of computers or bikes and you're in y knowing what the rules are before you advertise. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Resources Net policy and attitudes toward advertising are evolving so rapidly that his article is virtually guaranteed to be out of date.

There are a lot of things that we can learn from teachers and librarians. Hopefully, this time around we will actuace Hall's 1994 National Conference at Northern Arizona University. This presentation would eventually lead to the creation of the Roadmap workshop. Patrick's presentation at Northern Arizona University was the only program out of 300 to receive a perfewake.

The problem with long-range plans, however, is that long-range planners often loose sight of present needs.

Type something on your computer and it's instantly echoed around the world to whoever happens to be on the same channel with you. You can join in existing public group chats or set up your own. You can even creatnd ftp, chances are good you can use these services as well. One of the most popular "chat" programs is Internet Relay Chat (IRC).

To request an invitation, type /who #channel-name where channel-name is the name of the channel, and hit enter. Then ask someone with an @ next to their name if you can join in. Note that whenever you enter a channel, you have to include the #. Choose one with a number of users, so you can see IRC in action. If it's a busy channel, as soon as you join it, the top of your screen will quicklo the discussion on whatever public channels you were on, although neither of you will be able to respond to any of the messages there. /quit Exit IRC. /signoff Exit IRC. /summon Asks somebody connected to a host where nickname is yours, then you have established a private conversation.

Most Internet service providers frown on your using their systemrtual reality adventures." (2) It's hard to explain ... you'll just have to check it out. There are four warnings that we want to give you about all of the "talkers": IRC, MUDs and MOOs are time SPONGES! They will suck up all of your time if MUDs commands are different from IRC commands - the commands are different, but the basic functions are identical - but you will soon find that most MUDs have an EXTENSIVE help menu system. MOOs are "MUDs: Object-Oriented," and they are "text-based vid see what we type as we type it - and there are even social MUDS where you can just sit and talk with people around the world. A list of the telnet addresses for several MUDs can be found in Yanoff's List (which we told you about the other "day"). MostDragons player could role play in real-time with other players around the world. MUDS are no longer limited to dragon-slaying, though. A large number of MUDS have been set up for teaching purposes - imagine my teaching Roadmap real time, where you woullow you to access IRC, there is still a way that you can access other types of "talkers." All you have to do is telnet into a MUD or a MOO. "MUDs" are Multi-user Dungeons (or Multiple User Devices), and they were originally created so that Dungeons and eaking event, chances are you'll see a brief description next to the channel name that will tell you that's the place to tune. ( 1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now some words from us: If you site does not allogs of the channels were archived somewhere on the Net, for those unable to "tune in" live. How would you find such channels in the future? Use the /list command to scroll through the available channels. If one has been set up to discuss a particular brde a continuous loop of information, much like all-news radio stations that cycle through the day's news every 20 minutes. In 1994, Los Angeles residents set up a similar channel to relay information related to the Northridge earthquake. In both cases, n 1993, when Russian lawmakers barricaded themselves inside the parliament building, some enterprising Muscovites and a couple of Americans set up a "news channel" on IRC to relay first-person accounts direct from Moscow. The channel was set up to proviannel. /whowas Similar to /whois; gives information for people who recently signed off IRC. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IRC has become a new medium for staying on top of really big breaking news.

Please check to see what your provider's policies are BEFORE you join a talker. Chat services seem to be a magnet for liars. People pretend to be more than they are, and they will say whatever is necessary to boost their own "image." Please be careful, and consider EVERYTHING that you hear over a talker to be, at best, an exaggeration or, at worst, a bald-faced lie. If you see someone on one ofhat you get will be on a system that the person that you want to talk to still uses. The morale of this story is this: while it would be great if you could just type a few commands on your screen and get the e-mail address of anyone in the world, the B my address using an e-mail address search.

Again, if yoh keyword, so we type Whois president@whitehouse.gov and the following appears on our screen: Whois president@whitehouse.gov No match for mailbox "PRESIDENT@WHITEHOUSE.GOV" Gee ... that's odd.

Let's keep looking for the President. We can use an e-mail address as a searcrds, the e-mail address for someone who works for the Clinton Group would be USER@CLINTON.COM (where USER is replaced with the person's login id)). The second entry is for a person named Tom J. Clinton. Again, the entry has a handle (TJC2). This entry st entry is an entry for a site. "Clinton Group, Inc." is the real-life name of this particular site. The "CLINTON-DOM" part is just a "handle" that the whois database uses to identify this entry. The last part is the site's Internet address (in other woBill." However, we did get some neat information. Let's take a closer look at two of these entries: Clinton Group, Inc.

Our many thanks go to: Patrick Douglas Crispen and The University Of Alabama And reorkshop. I'd like to give some general thoughts on this new form of distance education and the new technologies that are becoming a prominent force in the education community. Vice President Al Gore speaks about building an information superhighway that will keep the United States competitive in the world of growing high technology. The National Information Infostructure (NII) is already in the making which will include present computer, television and telephone, and telecommunication technology, and ponal courses in distance education will be revolutionary. Several universities are now initiating degree programs that can be taken over the Internet. Telecommunications technologies have provided a vast array of teaching opportunities for educators an4 from 54 countries. These informal basic e-mail courses demonstrate the potential of this communication medium for distant education. With the addition of graphics, hypertext, compress video, sound and multimedia, information distribution for educatied two weeks for registration. The registration had to be stopped when enrollment reached 15,000. The last workshop given from the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh "Navigating the Internet: Let's Go Gopherin'" (a popular Internet interface) attracted 19,99e saved for perusal at their convenience, a major advantage of this type of distance education. "Navigating the Internet: An Interactive Workshop" was so popular that a second class was given within two months. The announcement for the second class allowwas achieved. In theory, a person would read the e-mail in the morning and follow the instructions for an hour to master the particular segment being taught. In reality, the three week course was a bit much for most participants so that instructions wert in a classroom or at a conference, but on-line over the Internet itself. I expected 30 to 40 people to sign up and ended up with 864 participants. The class consisted of e-mail instructions for accessing Internet resources and what to do once access ment and computers increase and costs of such equipment decreases. An initial attempt to use this network for education was an experimental course attempted two years ago. In the summer of 1992 I decided to offer a workshop on how to use this network, norated formal credited courses via the Internet that may change the way that current distant education or distant learning takes place. This aspect of distance education will continue to grow as the number of schools equipped with telecommunications equipa valuable research and education tool; the largest growing segment of the Internet community is commercial firms. Yet an important impact of this network has yet to be developed - the delivery of information in formal education. There is now being genegs in the 1970's, it is only recently that this communication phenomenon has expanded beyond the computer and information science fields. Today librarians, health professionals, historians, lawyers, and many other professionals are finding the Internet ent Mediterranean, women in science and engineering, university administration or the Pittsburgh Pirates take place daily. There are thousands of discussion groups available on almost any imaginable topic. While this network of networks has its beginninry catalogs, journal indexes, reference books, full text books and journal articles, major art exhibits, employment notices, or federal government information. Communication with colleagues on topics as diverse as diabetes research, history of the Anciunk characters and MTV, Nightline, FX and other commercial entities are now on-line. This new means of communications is predicted to change the pattern of scholarly work. From the computer at home or office the educator can now access hundreds of libraromises that it will be available to everyone as every classroom, library, hospital and clinic in the country should have access to the network. (Recently Post Offices!) It is now so common that the comic strip Outland makes fun of it with their cyberpd librarians charged with providing information to students, staff, researchers and faculty. The technology permits expanded communication among teachers/student, and also provides a means of increasing teacher/teacher and student/student communications. Narrow casting for specific audiences and for specific subject areas, both for formal credit courses and informal workshops, is an option being considered by many educators and librarians. Unlike traditional distance education systems which relied he to a multitude of people via telecommunications. In the United States, with the explosive growth of the Internet and the proposed National Research and Education Network (NREN), it is now possible for delivery of information in formal education in an rous locations, Ohio, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and other locations while I was on the road. Distance education via electronic delivery is not a new concept. Australia and the United Kingdom have made dramatic steps in providing electronic informationa book, "Navigating the Internet" in three months without ever meeting Mark Gibbs, the co-author in California, or the Publisher, SAMS in Indianapolis. Distance education is a bonus for the Instructor also. "Let's Go Gopherin'" was distributed from numetten in my house and transferred to my local account in Louisiana via a 2,400 baud modem; I then ftpped the document, in seconds, to my account in Pittsburgh; finally, I e- mailed it to Patrick in Alabama who then distributed it to you. I co- authored a convenient means of delivering information to thousand of people geographically dispersed and removes barriers such as distance and cultural diversity that are common in the traditional classroom educational setting. For example, this segment was wri Improved dialogue - students correspond more than traditional classroom setting. Improved instructor control - the computer system can log activities. Active learning - student participation improved. Finally, the Internet, provides d older distance education courses. Some of the results showed these benefits: Immediacy - especially compared to print-based correspondence courses. Sense of group identity - the computer system became a meeting place for students. same respect when read by a student. In a distance education class at Houston Community College System, years of experience in giving credited courses by modem found that distance education had several benefits over traditional classroom instruction aned that communication within a paperless network tends to spread power horizontally across the writing community, with instructor's information equal to the student's, and every message, because of identical font and identical screen size, commanding thed to other student responses produced communications in the "virtual classroom" and was found to be a positive yet different type of communications from the traditional classroom. This change in communication was noted by others where the experience showused computer-mediated communication as both an adjunct function of supplementing traditional classroom instruction and as a primary mode of course delivery for postsecondary education. Electronic conferencing, where students answered questions and reacte between participants in an effective and efficient manner. Computer and telecommunication technologies are providing unique ways to communicate, and examples of the benefits and drawbacks of using these techniques are abundant in the literature. Hiltz al time communications. Innovative computer and telecommunication technologies' expand and enhance traditional distance education by adding additional means of communication. To be productive, distance education must be able to communicate informationavily on print base materials supported by audiotape, telephone contact, videotape, color slides, study pictures, or kits containing samples, The Internet gives increased access to graphics, sound, and video files via software like Mosaic, as well as reeconomical and efficient manner. Of course, promises of new technologies that would impact education have been made before and never reached their potential. Public television is the prime example. Predicted to impact education from k-12 to higher education, public television has only served as a minor supplement to the traditional classroom setting. Yet today's technologies are entering not only the classroom, but are commonly found on professors' and teachers' desks in their office and even at home. Tt."
