CCCC/97 Online | http://www.missouri.edu/~cccc/97/ | [log in to unmask] | ---------------------------------- Program | Contributing Content | Internship Phoenix Info | Discussion Forums | P&T Stories and Statements Online Proposals for 98 *** THE PROGRAM IS ONLINE *** http://www.missouri.edu/~cccc/97/program/ Many people who are registered for the convention have received the program book by now, but for those who haven't, this online version may prove useful. It may be more important, though, as a peek at the convention for those of us who can't make the trip to Phoenix and as an archival resource, an accessible record of the 1997 event. Note: There are still some tweaks to be made to the online version. If you see things that don't match what's in print or in any other way erroneous or difficult to find or read, please write to [log in to unmask] and suggest changes. TWO NEW FEATURES (one done, one in process) --> Interactive Personal Schedule You know the "Individual CCCC Schedule" just inside the cover of the program book every year? Just for fun, we created a web form that follows the shape of that page. If you fill out the form on the web, you'll receive a copy of your schedule via email. If your schedule changes, you can fill out the form again--as often as you like! --> HyperIndex We've begun adding links from the Indexs (by topic and by participant name) to the sessions listed. It's a bit time-consuming, but hopefully all the links will work before the weekend is over. ---------------------------------------------- REMINDERS: --> Add presentation texts! A number of people have added presentation texts in recent days, but the collection is still not large enough (we hold out hope for comprehensive coverage!). For the hundreds (thousands) of our colleagues who cannot attend the convention, this may be their only means of touching the field's Main Event. The more of our work we add, the better resource it will be for them (and for those who do attend and subsequently find need to refer back). To add texts (papers, abstracts, outlines, etc.), go to: http://www.missouri.edu/~cccc/97/contribforms.html Many computer systems should allow you to copy the text from your word processor or text editor and past it right into the web form. Let us know if you run into any difficulty ([log in to unmask]). Please add your presentation materials! --> CCCC Web Publishing Internship We received 36 applications for four internship positions, a great response in any case, but especially considering the unreasonably brief time between the announcement and the deadline. Interns will be notified by March 10. --> Phoenix Info There have been questions and answers recently on several lists about local weather, transportation, lodging, shopping. Some of those notes were forwarded to the CCCC announcement list ([log in to unmask]) and can be found in the web archive for that list: http://www.missouri.edu/~cccc/97/announce --> Discussion Forums Several sessions and a number of general subjects can be discussed on HyperNews Forums. See: http://www.missouri.edu/~cccc/forums.html Anyone may request a forum at any time. Even when the convention is over, we'll have plenty to talk about, including and most immediately: proposals for next year's convention program. Last year we had a fine time using the forum provided by March Bauman: http://www.umd.umich.edu/HyperNews/get/cccc97/proplink.html We have one available now for discussing ideas for next year's sessions: http://www.missouri.edu/HyperNews/get/cccc98/proplink.html --> Forum for P&T Stories and Statements As part of the Computer Committee's work to develop guidelines (in cooperation with NCTE's Instructional Technology Committee) for including technology oriented teaching and scholarship in promotion and tenure considerations, we've created a web page that will, we hope, provide a different dimension than these projects usually obtain. The web page: http://www.missouri.edu/~sevenc/recognition includes a form that anyone can use to share ideas for or drafts of formal position statements or stories about the relationship between academic recognition and technology. --> Online Proposal Submission We're about two tweaks and a test away from having the online session proposal form working (a must for those who tire of making and keeping straight 7 print copies!). As soon as it's available, a link will be added to the CCCC/97 Online homepage: http://www.missouri.edu/~cccc/97/ ---------------------------------- --Eric Crump On behalf of the CCCC Computer Committee
