Internet 101 was created in the summer of 1996 by
Carolyn Gale (cmg@geocities.com). In fact,
this poor soul still works on it, nearly every day -- in the process,
growing a rather thick skin. :-) Hey, you should have seen the complaints from people when
we had started! However, their feedback was (and yours still is) vital for the survival of
this "tiny outpost in cyberspace".
Oh, and f you feel that this site is too plain or lacking in jazzy effects, that's fine. Many more have asked to keep it simple. ;-)
Ben Thompson (bent@ljl.com)
created the Internet Explorer tutorial, Internet Security, and all (well, most) of the
graphics (other than the program screen shots) in the summer of 1996. He's also become the
occasional "Eudora expert".
Susan Hall (susan.hall@byu.edu)
created the Fetch tutorial in the summer of 1997.
The WS_FTP tutorial was created by a team of
students in the Spring 1996 Informatics class at Vanderbilt University (Carolyn Gale,
Geoffrey Reynolds, Wesley Williams, Larry Kwok).
A big thank you to the folks at Qualcomm, Jeff Ross
and Sarah Stockwell, for raking through the Eudora tutorials with a fine tooth comb -- in
a very nice way, of course! So you can be assured of technical accuracy.
Thanks go to the Alfred P. Sloan foundation ( http://www.sloan.org ), who provided the initial financial
assistance, and the ALN Web Project Leader, Dr. John Bourne (john.bourne@vanderbilt.edu), Vanderbilt
University Professor and Director of the Center for Innovation in Engineering Education.
