Message from the Editor

This project has been the work of many people. The authors, the reviewers, the advance design team, the graduate students who carried out the basic transformation of text and other media into this format, and our alpha-testers. You will find credits to these fine people in each section, as appropriate. This issue would not have happened without them, and I would like to express my deep appreciation to each of them.

We do not know whether this journal will appear in web format again. In part it will depend on the feedback we get from you. The first version is a beta version, released in stages starting in June, 1996, until it is completed. The links from this index will therefore change: as each article is released, its link will be available to readers on this page. We invite your comments on the journal as a whole (see Survey Form icon at bottom of this page) and on individual articles (which have their own comment forms). Each article in this issue of the journal will be considered in its final form when it is linked to the main index below.

Sincerely,

Final Message from the Editor

After the original version of the issue was completed, I decided to publish each article, in its text-only version (without all the supplementary pictures, movies, data, and so on) in the paper version of the Journal. You will find these articles in Summer, Fall, and Winter issues of 1997. The ISTE office editing process was slightly different from the online editing process, and changes were made throughout the text, mostly in the details of hypenation and citations, but occasionally in phrasing. Consequently, I thought it best to go back to the online version and re-edit that version to match, as much as possible, the paper version. I have completed that process and have made 100 copies of a CD-ROM with this final version of this online issue. These copies were given to those who helped make this special issue and to the ISTE office. This has been an amazing and long journey, and one which I hope to write about in the near future. Thank you to readers and helpers alike for making this journal issue a good learning experience and a good model.
