Any fans of early internet bulletin boards might enjoy the latest additions to 'Early Conferencing and Internet' section <http://loopcntr.net/collections/collection.php?c=1650> on History of Computing in Learning and Education <http://www.hcle.org> We are actively building this site and welcome contributions of scanned items and your labor. Our focus is the intersection of computing and learning, not the whole computing industry. Education includes learning with, through, and about computing. There are many undiscovered gems in the LO*OP Center archive. This website is just a sample. In the future I hope to be able to add a blurb to each item in the online collection that explains where the item fits in the development of ed tech and why the item is significant. If you see something you know about don't hesitate to send us some notes to publish. Enjoy, Liza On Tue, Aug 30, 2022 at 1:36 AM Asger Harlung <asger@cc.au.dk> wrote:
