"The InterNIC and the Library and Information Technology Association
(LITA), a division of the American Library Association, are pleased to
announce the availability of the 15 Minute Series, collection of free,
modular, and extensible training materials for the research and education
community. Available in both Microsoft PowerPoint and HTML, the training
modules offer mini slide presentations on specific Internet topics and use
a question-and-answer approach to present the subject. Each module follows
a consistent outline and style guide, which enables the modules to be
used alone or in conjunction with other modules, depending on the
training task at hand. Trainers are welcome to extend the modules to
address specific local issues such as operating platforms, client
software, and access
methods; templates (in both HTML and PowerPoint) are provided for trainers
who wish to do so. Twenty-one modules, prepared by the InterNIC staff, are
currently available; they incorporate graphics, screen shots, and
analogies. The collection is expected to grow in the coming months, and
the InterNIC and LITA will be issuing a call for participation inviting
members of the research and education community to contribute modules for
inclusion in the 15 Minute Series. The 15 Minute Series website includes
background and introductory information, technical tips and
recommendations for use, and search and browse features. All modules are
provided from the website in HTML and PowerPoint; the PowerPoint modules
are also available via anonymous ftp.
