Subject: Confirmation for conference


I just realized that my confirmation note has been sitting here waiting 
for send-off, so here it is... Also, could you tell me how long our 
presentations are to be?  I may be bringing an additional member of our 
team for the electronic poster portion of the conference.  We are still 
determining funding.

Thanks,
 Beth Terhune

* Brief Biography
After five years with Oracle Corporation, Beth Terhune returned to 
graduate school to pursue a MA in history with a concentration in public 
history.  Her proposal to revitalize a critical thinking and historical 
research methodologies series of courses was accepted as the first 
humanities project for the new Center for Computer-based Instructional 
Technology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.  Since that time, 
she has been working with a team from the university's education, 
computer science, and history departments to design and build a 
web-based virtual archive and a software toolset for the project.  
Terhune plans to teach a modified version of the undergraduate course 
in the fall of 1997 while completing her degree.  Additional plans for 
the project include further partnerships with the Fall River Public 
Library and the Fall River Historical Society to roll out the software to 
K-12 educators, public school classrooms, and the community.
