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.

Museum Informatics Project Joins
with Interactive University |
 FROM IU DIRECTOR
DAVID A. GREENBAUM:
I am pleased and honored to announce that UC Berkeley's Associate Vice Chancellor for Information Systems and Technology, Jack McCredie, has asked me to assume leadership of the Museum Informatics Project (MIP), and to create a new group that brings together the Interactive University and MIP.
In his announcement of this change Jack previewed the direction of this nascent group: "The focus of the integrated organization will be innovative services and strategies that enable members of our community to share, in more effective ways, campus digital collections and content in support of research, teaching, and public service."
Jack went on to describe the context in which this new organization is being created: "We face exciting future opportunities to discover new ways to make it much easier for faculty, students, staff, and colleagues such as K-12 teachers to use and share the campus's extraordinary digital resources. To reach our potential in this area will require close partnerships among IST and campus and systemwide academic, library, museum, and technology departments. David will be working with MIP and IU partners and customers in the next six months to gather broad input as he develops a strategic vision for the combined MIP and IU group."

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.
