The Global Campus

The goal of the Global Campus project is to provide easy access to high quality new media materials, images, video, audio and text files, for use by students and faculty for enhancement of learning and teaching. Contributors to the Global Campus agree to make materials available for non-profit, educational purposes. Currently, the Global Campus provides instructional media relating to Art History, American Indian History, and Marine and Cellular Biology and we are actively seeking material from these and other disciplines.

Participation can be as simple as using the Global Campus to retrieve excellent instructional material or as involved as installing the Global Campus interface on your World Wide Web server and providing space for instructional material for our distribute d database.

Here are the three ways you may involve yourself with the Global Campus:

1. Use it: Explore the pilot version of the Global Campus and make use of the materials found. If you like what you see, tell others about the Global Campus and add links to it from your home page or other WWW pages.
2. Contribute: You may provide your high quality instructional material to the Global Campus making it available to others over the World Wide Web. Copies of the digitized versions of the media you provide would be installed on one of our servers and available worldwi de. You must either own the copyright of the material or have permission to submit the materials to the Global Campus for instructional use.
3. Help Distribute: If you would like to set up the Global Campus interface on your existing World Wide Web server or you have the resources to set up a new World Wide Web server, we welcome your participation as a data site for our distributed database. As a data site you would "own space" in one or more buildings in the Global Campus related to your subject area and become involved in collecting and making available new media related to that subject.
