The University of Michigan's Teaching and Technology Collaborative sponsored "Enriching Scholarship", a week-long series of seminars, workshops, demonstrations and open houses on the integration of information and technology in teaching and learning. ACT contributed to this event by presenting a detailed report on the recently concluded experiment in distance-independent education, the Globalization and the Information Society Seminar. The audience, consisting primarily of faculty from various UM campuses, listed attentively as the presenter described:

• the seminar itself
• the rationale behind delivering it in a distance-independent mode
• the technologies that made this delivery possible
• technological and non-technological challenges that were tackled along the way
• conditions for making similar endeavors a success

Among the highlights of this presentation were comments made by Dean Nanette Levinson and Mary Mulvihill from American University in Washington, DC (one of the institutional partners in the experiment), who joined the gathering live via one of the technologies used for the seminar.
