Will you be using e-mail only for the Conference:

with your requests for names):


Which Sessions are you most interested in actually
attending in the virtual Environment? Please
indicate by number (See below):




----------------------------------------------------


There is a registration fee of $35.00 which you
should include with your hard copy. Virtual Online
University is a non-profit educational institution
and all fees will go to cover the expenses of the
conference and to promote net-accessible education.

If you have a problem with the fee, please contact
me personally: wpainter@bigcat.missouri.edu and we
will work with you.

-----------------------------------------------

The following sessions are presently scheduled from
Monday, November 7 through Sunday November 13 (we
had to extend the conference two days to accommodate
all the presenters). The final scheduling of the
sessions will be distributed to registered attendees
by Oct. 19.

Since this is a global conference and crosses
several time zones, it is unlikely that everyone
will be able to attend every online session (just
like other conferences!)

Upon receipt of your registration form, you will be
subscribed to an email list and a password and ID
will be made for you for use in the virtual
environment. Moreover, I will send *simple*
instructions on how to connect and interact in the
virtual areas and the listserver. All registered
attendees are encouraged to connect to the virtual
environment and explore; there will be helpers
online who can assist you.

If you do not have telnet access or do not wish to
attend the interactive sessions, ALL TRANSCRIPTS
WILL BE DISTRIBUTED VIA E-MAIL with follow-up
questions afterward.





Sessions (subject to emendations)

All sessions, barring the keynote speech, will be
given twice to accommodate various time zones.
