Many interesting major projects have been created by members of the EdPsy 387 class.

Resources for the class

• One resource for our class' joint effort is Ed Krol's book The Whole Internet User's Guide & Catalog, available in many bookstore. The second part of this book, The Whole Internet Catalog, is also available electronically.
• Another major resource for our effort is the Internet itself. Course members have been finding resources on the Internet to link into the course hypertext. Here are a number of my favorite places on the Internet. And here are the favorite places of other members of the EdPsy 387 class. Here are the favorite personal web pages of people on the Internet found by members of EdPsy 387.
• Another resource we will use to aid us in this project is a taxonomy of educational technology uses created by Chip Bruce. Class members have identified examples of various parts of the taxonomy.
• To help us create our class web document, we've been using the HTML Editor.
• An interactive graphic (or "map") is an in-line graphic that is linked to other web documents, and for which clicking in some parts of the graphic takes you to different places than clicking in other places. Members of the EdPsy 387 class have selected interesting examples of interactive graphic hypertexts from elsewhere on the Web. Members of EdPsy 387 have created our own interactive graphics. To create "interactive graphics", we've been using MacMapMaker.
• The process of creating digitized sounds for Web documents using SoundMachine 2.1 has been nicely documented by the "Web 66" folks at the College of Education at the University of Minnesota.
• Another useful resource is the set of papers presented at the Chicago Mosaic/WWW conference in October 1994.
• A paper by Nick Burbules and Chip Bruce called "This is Not a Paper" was mentioned by Chip Bruce during our discussion with him in our October 6th class.
