Acknowledgments, disclaimers, and technical info

First of all, this project was completed as part of Dr. Ingram's Instructional Design course at Kent State University during the fall of 1997. The complete instructional design is also available online.

In order to complete this project, I used resources from a number of online sources. Evaluating the quality of online resources is a hot topic at the moment in academia, and there is a lot of discussion online about it.

I also wish to thank all of those people who "donated" (rather involuntarily) their web pages for use as examples in this project. A list of those sites used as examples is provided.

For those interested in the technical aspects of all of this, it uses JavaScript almost exclusively. Cookies are used to transfer data between screens asking questions and those providing feedback. The pretest and post-test answers are submitted electronically to the teacher using Stalker Lab's CGIMail CGI script for Windows NT.
