This course depends upon an electronic environment. If you are reading this syllabus in hard copy, the electronic version can be found on the WWW at: <http://mcel.pacificu.edu/mcel/barlow/Fall99/h490/syl490.html> For interactive functions such as a class bulletin board, chat room, email functions and a space for student work we will use a Web-ct environment. To log in to our web-ct environment:
PALACE ENVIRONMENT: We may also do some of our communication within a graphical environment called "The Asian Studies Palace." To use the palace environment you must download a piece of software from THEPALACE.COM. Go to: <http://www.thepalace.com/> and click on Free Palace Software. Once you are familiar with the Palace Structure, visit our "Asian Studies Palace" at <dao.mcel.pacificu.edu> This location must be accessed through the Palace environment, it is not a web page. I will tell you which rooms we will use for particular meetings, via email.
Extra credit for helping with the computer side of the course: If you want to get deeply involved in the computer work for the course, I welcome your assistance. You could sign up for History 255, History Web Lab, which will meet in Strain 220 Wednesday from 12-12:50, and in a second section which will be Tuesdays at 1-1:50. The second section is intended to suit the schedules of those who cannot make the first section. In the course this term we will learn to use Adobe Cyberstudio, the best of the MAC platform web editor/site manager programs. Familiarity with this program will be necessary for working in the MCEL , on the JAHC, or in maintaining the History Dept. web site. This is a one-hour course but I could provide additional credit for additional work. We also have work study money for those who might want to work on a for-pay basis and are entitled to work study. I have some money available to pay cash to those not eligible for work study, but who wish to make a serious commitment to learning the emerging electronic aspects of doing history studies.
