- With the assistance of our local Internet guru, Paul Jones, the Office of
- Information Technology, UNC Chapel Hill, has prepared an Internet document
- and a handout for a hands-on class. Both are available for FTP from
- sunsite.unc.edu in the directory pub/docs/about-the-net.
-
- Molly Munro wrote "Venturing Into the Internet," which offers a bare-bones
- introduction to the Internet in 13 pages. The ascii filename is
- venturing_oit and the postscript version is venturing_oit.ps.
-
- The handout is in the file exploring_oit. I've been teaching the class. I
- put big chunks of the handout in our campus information system and use
- that as "overheads." You can look at that too; telnet to info.oit.unc.edu
- and login as INFO. Then type f for find and press return, and then type
- 4001.
-
- For the class, it takes 45 minutes to an hour to go through the material.
- Then they choose which exercises they want to do and go at it. I've taught
- 10 sessions this summer with about 12 people at each (the number of PCs in
- the room). It's great fun.
-
- Molly and I both got a lot of our material from the Internet and it seems
- like a good idea to give back what we have. Thanks for all the useful
- information -- especially from PACS-L.

- PS: In case you are wondering why there isn't a postscript version of the
- class handout, it became too much of a challenge. I've got what the
- student types in Courier and descriptive text in Times. There apparently
- are too many font changes. After spending a couple of days messing with
- it, I decided it wasn't worth it.
