Honorable Mention -- Paul Allen Virtual Education Foundation Outstanding Online Course Award

The ``Honorable Mention'' will be a major motivation for the planned 1998 course, for which Rebecca Parsons from the School of Computer Science, University of Central Florida, is the chief coordinator. (Rebecca was a co-author of our submission for the Online Course Award.)

While there is only one winner, the contest overall attracted too many fine entries even to list here. Among the entries however, a few courses stood out for specific features worthy of notice (and imitation). Those mentioned below are a small sampling of the most noteworthy among these. Our hats are off to all those responsible for these fine efforts. Note that full access to most sites requires password access. Links posted here are to public sites only.

VSNS BioComputing Course, developed by Georg Fuellen, Robert Giegerich and Rebecca Parsons for the University of Bielefeld, Germany. An excellent example of the kind of large scale, transnational collaboration that the Internet uniquely makes possible. And a good example of what MOO can do.
