Please consult the IT Web Site in August for IT global tutor and IT global tutee application forms, and for the first selection of subjects to be offered when IT operations begin September 1, 1995. Eventually, a wide range of multilingual subjects will be offered by IT for pre-school to continuing education students. Based upon discussions held on the Tutor-L list and recommendations made by IT committees, global referenda will be held on the Tutor-Announce-L list, with the results of the voting disseminated on both conferences. We have embarked upon what may be an important voyage -- namely, the discovery of practical ways to enhance student learning everywhere.
