Conference

[Doug and Cindy Strong <gnortsdc@COMCAST.NET>]

As a Media Specialist in training, the idea of an on-line conference sounds
fantastic.  What a great way to spread a wealth of knowledge to those who
are new to the field and in an inexpensive way.

Presently, I am taking an online class in electronic reference at the
University of Maryland and while I miss the classroom setting and the
lectures, the format has worked well.  One of the most effective aspects of
this online class is the Electronic Reading Group.  Each member in a group
presents papers and folks chime in with critiques or comments and then one
person summarizes the discussion.  I have benefitted a lot from this sort of
forum. It might work well for an online conference as well.
