The Node is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of its new service, theNode.org, on 18 October 1999.
theNode.org will be an international community of instructors, trainers, designers and administrators with a professional interest in teaching with technology. Services will support users in developing and sustaining effective education and training practices and in exploring new ways to use technologies to support their learning objectives.
Through theNode.org, we will continue to develop freely-
available resources to help you choose, use and evaluate
learning technologies. It will add extensive new resources
for members to assist them directly in teaching and training
through technology.
Prospectus
theNode.org is a virtual community space for peer support, knowledge-building and professional development and a comprehensive clearinghouse of vital information on teaching and training online. It will provide direct support to the growing numbers of instructors teaching online, offering open resources as well as resources reserved for institutional and individual members.
The initial launch of theNode.org is scheduled for October 1999 and we will continue to roll out features and services regularly throughout the following year. This overview provides an outline of the planned components of theNode.org.
