sites for global collaboration with the help of easy-to-use Web publishing tools.
This segment of the Seminar on Internet Accessibility
will be offered by Matt
Bonham, who is Professor of Political Science, and Chair of the International
Relations Program in the Maxwell School of
Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University.
