ODIN OnlineThe Online Dakota Information Network is now located on a series of webpages that contain the catalogs of all subscriber libraries in North Dakota, including the Jamestown College library.
CALICO On-Line Resource Guide -- this site from the Computer-Assisted Language Instruction Consortium contains a searchable 2,700 item bibliography (which grows weekly) and the beginnings of a searchable People and Services section. The Guide will also eventually include a section on CALL (computer-assisted language learning) educational programs.
The Technology Source -- a free on-line refereed journal dedicated to "assisting educators as they face the challenge of integrating information technology tools in teaching and in managing educational organizations."
UC-Riverside Internet Guide -- Built by the library of the University of California-Riverside, it is "intended for the introduction and use of Internet/Web resources of relevance to faculty, students and research staff at the university level."
American Universities to help find university homepages all over the USA
Colleges and Universities - another alphabetical listing of colleges and universities, just in case the first list isn't enough!
North Dakota University System Home Page - Lots of info on everyone but us and the University of Mary.
The Online Study Abroad Directory -- a site maintained by The International Study and Travel Center (ISTC), a not-for-profit student organization at the University of Minnesota--Twin Cities. The OSAD lists sites and has a study abroad search engine for students looking for that perfect school match in another country.
The Chronicle of Higher Ed
Biblioscape Style Manual Collection
The Education Policy Analysis Archives -- a peer-reviewed journal published by Arizona State University
Copyright and Fair Use -- Stanford University Libraries, FindLaw, and the Council on Library Resources have made available a pointers page on copyright and fair use. The site is divided into four main categories: Primary Materials; Current Legislation, Cases and Issues; Resources on the Internet; and Overview of Copyright Law. Each section is divided into subsections that contain the pointers, many of which are annotated. Of particular interest are several articles on the impact of copyright and fair use on multimedia, online resources, and computer programs (found under "Fair Use and Multimedia"), and a compilation of library copyright guidelines.
SyllabusWeb- According to JC Net Wizard Tim Kachel, this is a very informative and productive site to help with software decisions, technology and educational sites.
The International Tutoring (IT) Foundation - This is the website of a non-profit charitable organization charged with developing, introducing and refining a "global tutoring" concept.
Walker's MLA Style Guide for Citations of Electronic Sources - created by Janice Walker, an English professor at the University of South Florida, has created an MLA-style guide for citations of electronic sources.
The Worldwide Classroom Library - it has names and addresses for several thousand schools, links to about a thousand schools, planning guides and quite a few teacher training programs as well.
Institute for Academic Technology - IAT, a partnership between IBM and UNC at Chapel Hill, operates this website which gives information on workshops and training sessions in the use of academic technology, software offerings, videotapes and satellite broadcasts.
Jamestown College Home Page
Western Governers University - Here is the site that links to the pages delineating the planned development of an interstate "virtual university" sponsored by an association of governors of western states who call themselves the "Smart States." It seems the brave new world of a happy academic future totally free of cumbersome human interaction is at the virtual door, and I for one, don't especially like it.
The Cheating Page - several faculty members have expressed concern that our students will get papers from electronic paper mills, so I am including a link to one and will provide links to others as I learn of them. From the quality of the paper on Zimbabwe, I dare say that the academic standards of these things are none too stringent. My personal antidote to this problem: require lots of prewriting and trips to the learning center for paper revisions. As long as there are teachers, students, grades and weasles on the planet, there will be cheating.
