BarbaraSchloman.jpg (20694 bytes) During Barbara's spring 2002 sabbatical, she will be taking advantage of the Moulton Scholars program by using the office space and drawing upon the expertise of the Moulton Hall staff as she strengthens the "Searching the Nursing Literature" WebCT tutorial.  Barbara's goal is to revise the current tutorial by incorporating an information literacy framework and building interactive features such as audio and quiz features into the tutorial.  Her hope is that this experience paves the way in influencing online tutorial development with her colleagues in Library & Media Services.
Vernon L. Sykes - Political Science
Sykes_Vernon.jpg (36914 bytes) In collaboration with the Columbus Program in Intergovernmental Issues (CPII), Vernon has become a Moulton Scholar so that he can use the technical support, office space, and release time to develop web-enhanced amenities for a state government course (State Government 30140) and make briefings in Columbus more accessible to students and faculty.  Using Moulton Hall resources, he plans to assist the CPII program director in using new media technologies and help CPII interface with the Ohio Telecommunications Office which is located in the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio.
