The Digital Learning Materials
site contains a variety of teaching and learning curriculum components,
created, primarily, by the Internet Learning Community Projects in IU's
Phase II.
The Scholar’s Box
work began in Phase II and continues today, working to implement online
tools that will allow teachers, students, and researchers to gather,
organize and share resources in the environment of desk-top and
Internet computing.
IU/CDL
collaboration, formally initiated in 2003, is a key partnership, and a
source of IU support for the Scholar's Box development effort.
The City|Watershed
Project, funded in Fall 2003, is gearing up—see July's lead story. It
aims to bring computer technologies to the established watershed
education and restoration programs of its Bay Area partners.
Finally, in the right-most column, there are new links to
campus and affiliate sites. And for those who wish to make a permanent
link to an IU Home page or News page (which change the first Tuesday of
every month) a persistent link has now been added to each of these
pages.

| IU's City|Watershed Taps UCB Resources |
 City|Watershed (C|W), a project led by the IU and UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources
(CNR), is beginning its first summer of work. Utilizing the resources
and expertise of UC Berkeley, the project aims to increase community
involvement in, and understanding of, the urban watershed—with the goal
of enabling citizens (youth and their families, teachers and community
leaders) to contribute solutions to the interrelated environmental and
social problems affecting San Francisco Bay Area watersheds.
The College of Natural Resources has a long-established record of
outreach and urban environmental education. Among its programs and
course offerings is the Department of Environmental Science, Policy & Management
(ESPM) 190 Seminar in Environmental Issues; for several years it has
trained undergraduates to be urban environmental educators. ESPM 190
was conceived and developed by the late Professor Don Dahlsten.
Professor Dahlsten, instrumental and inspirational in so many endeavors
both on and off the Berkeley campus, was also an essential partner with
IU in gaining support and funding for the City|Watershed Project.
As a first step toward realizing its goals, City|Watershed
has identified ESPM 190 as a course it will support and enhance. Mark
Spencer, who received his Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Policy
Management from CNR, is C|W's East Bay Program Coordinator. Spencer anticipates several ways that C|W will contribute to CNR's ongoing urban environmental education work. The project will:

The Interactive University Project uses
the Internet to open UC Berkeley's unique resources and people to
California’s K-12 schools and citizens. Our goal is to use technology
to democratize the content and community of the campus.
IU activities are coordinated by
UC Berkeley's IS&T
Information Systems and Technology.
