About CODE

While much of this past year has been devoted to internal information gathering, building coalitions, and developing coherent strategies to unify campus activities within the digital environment, next year will focus on expanding our connections to other institutions and building Rice's presence as a forum for issues relating to technology and education.

CODE meeting 11 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Founder's Room. The Digital Library Initiative and the E-text Center will be presented and discussed, as well as an update on the CODE Web page and its functions. Two external speakers have agreed to come to Rice this fall, Stan Katz of Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School and Steve Lerman of MIT's Center for Educational Computing Initiatives.

Please bring your CALENDARS. We will need to establish routine meeting times this fall that accommodate teaching schedules. Also, please think about site visits to MIT, Stanford/Berkeley/Xerox PARC, CMU, and Georgia Tech. It would be best if two or three committee members could travel to each location and report back. A checklist of observation items will be drafted prior to the site visits to help produce a uniform report.
