Knowledge for a changing world? Within the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, education takes place in many places, from the traditional bricks and mortar classroom to the less traditional Internet connection in your own home, or maybe via that wireless connection in a student study area. In 1993 we offered our first Internet-supported distance course offering via the Gopher (to Rochester, MN). Instructional Computing in the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences is home to the first Web-delivered course at the University of Minnesota (1994). We currently (and proudly) provide a wide variety of quality distributed learning courses. Our greetings go out to all those students taking classes right here in Minnesota who are able to work and take courses, when they can and where they live, because of the flexibility offered by the various distributed and distance offerings.

Services available to CFANS instructors include:

• Course design template for flexible delivery (web-supported classes to full Internet/distance)
• Web space for your classes
• Assistance with video development (we can help you film, edit and burn your product to CD or VHS or DVD)
• Hardware, software and pedagogy for the wireless classroom

If, as a CFANS instructor, you need help preparing your class for flexible delivery, contact me. I have a variety of Internet tools that can help you. More importantly, I have more than 12 years of experience in Internet pedagogy, with hundreds of e-alums.
