ISPP-ITSymposium 2001 Archive

Greetings!  You have reached the archive of the first On-line Symposium covering Instructional Technology in Plant Pathology, held from May 15th to June 30th, 2001.  Please feel free to explore the presentations (unfortunately the discussions cannot be viewed at the moment due to a change in server software).  

The symposium was sponsored by The International Society for Plant Pathology (ISPP).  If you have an interest in the themes covered in this event consider registering for the next ISPP Teaching Symposium in 2006.


PAPERS FORUMS How the Symposium Worked 

Every eight days, a theme was presented and an associated forum opened. 

Themes consisted of presented papers, together with a discussion board for each one. Authors were available for that period, to answer questions and clarify points regarding their paper.

Forums were discussion areas dealing with issues pertinent to the named topic.  These forums were moderated and each one ran for one period with the exception of the General Discussion forum which was open for the duration of the symposium.

You can read the papers by clicking the links opposite.  Please note that in some cases, clicking a link will open a new window in your browser.


Post-Symposium Links

This archive will remain on the web until further notice.  Unfortunately, this does not include the discussion, as the discussion and forum software used is not compatible with our updated server software.
