  • Technology and human resources
By Spring 1995 we had several platforms to choose from
  • Software called ABC locally run on the ISU network.
  • CD-ROMs
  • Internet

So, why did we choose the Internet?

  1. Information is no longer obsolete, unlike a textbook.
  2. Wealth of resources
  3. Emerging technology that allowed us to get students more involved in their own learning.

    • Java
    • CGI code, like Python
    • Databases, like mSQL
