Invitation to NetLinkS' Final Online Mini-Conference

[The NetLinks Project]

        ****Invitation to NetLinkS' Final Online Mini-Conference **** 

      "THE WORLD WIDE WEB AS AN INSTRUCTIONAL TOOL." 

The NetLinkS project is pleased to announce the sixth and final event in a
programme of discussions led by "guest speakers". Due to popular
demand, these discussions have become a regular feature of our
discussion list - nls-forum - and we would like to invite you to take
part. 

We are delighted to welcome Ann Scholz-Crane of Rutgers University 
Libraries, USA who has very generously offered to lead a discussion for a 
period of 3 weeks from this coming Monday (26th January) on the topic 
of :
                        "The World Wide Web as an Instructional Tool." 

Ann continues to work at the forefront of online teaching and learning in the 
information world and has experience in different American institutions. 
This experience, in the practical issues of design and implementation of 
networked learner support, is of particular value in a world where theory is 
more readily available than details of practice. 

We look forward to Ann's contribution as our final 'mini-conference' speaker 
and one whom we feel sure will help bring the NetLinkS Project
towards an exciting close. We now invite you to join this
online mini-conference and to help make this a success by offering your 
thoughts and  experiences.  Make the 26th a date for your virtual diaries.

Those of you who didn't participate in our earlier conferences they
are all archived on the NetLinkS Project Web Site at :
