PAT NORRIS,  FEBRUARY 9, 1995<P><P><H5>NETWORK EXAMPLE</H5>I<P><P>

 found  an example of communication; it is also an example of collaboration because it is made up of information from several different sources.   This is about a television series on the Knowledge Network.  The URL is <A HREF="http://oilpatch.schdist60.bc.ca/Get/KN/Forest/trees.html/">http://oilpatch.schdist60.bc.ca/Get/KN/Forest/trees.html/</A><P>


It is called Forests of Trees, Forests of Images, Forests of Words.  This example  tells of a series of television programs to be aired on Cable 5, available in most of British  Columbia.  They were/will be aired on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. from January 19 to March 16..  Each program will feature a panel of experts .  There are brief resumes of each of the experts.  Details of the series are given, and transcripts of each  panel discussion are available through hypertext.  There is a list of resources which each lead to further information.  There is a section on the media portrayal of  forests and laws.<P>
<H5>NON-NETWORK EXAMPLE</H5>

A non network  example of communication is the interaction I am sharing with a professor at Purdue who is directing an independent study for me.   I visit  him every three weeks to discuss the  progress of the study.  We also exchange articles and other information through the U.S. mail service.  I hope that this exchange will make more use of the network.  We are doing this by using e-mail, and we want to explore other means of information exchange.
