Final Call for Papers

H-Net, Humanities and Social Sciences OnLine, with the financial support of the National Endowment for the Humanities and Michigan State University, will host a conference on the use of new educational technologies in the teaching of history September 26-28, 1997, in East Lansing Michigan.

The conference will focus on the ways that new communication and computer technologies and software can be used to enhance student learning, build student skills, and increase student- faculty interaction. The conference will also explore the potential costs of using technology as a cost-cutting substitute for high quality teaching.
