Training/Learning Opportunities on the World Wide Web

By Claudia Lynch, Benchmarks Editor (lynch@unt.edu) and Randy Milholland, Documentation Services Assistant (randy@unt.edu)

Have you ever wanted to learn more about a topic but just didn't feel you had the time to take a formal course in the subject? If so, the WWW may be a good resource for you. It is becoming increasingly popular for people to develop courses and/or docum entation on various topics and make them available via the WWW. Sometimes there is a charge associated with such a service, but often everything is free.

The following is a list of "Educational Links" on the Web. This list reflects the WWW as of early February 1996. Things change quickly on the Web, so links will have been added/deleted/ changed on a daily, even hourly, basis. The best advice is to try the listed links that you are interested in. If they don't work, use a search engine like Yahoo! to locate other links on that topic. ( $ denotes a fee for use, # denotes a tutorial)
