This site, sponsored by the American Studies Association and hosted by Georgetown University, is an excellent collection of resources for using technology in American Studies classrooms. ASEC is equally useful for both novice and veteran users of electronic teaching tools, as it offers beginner's guides as well as cutting edge electronic curriculum research and case studies. The site is divided into four sections. Under Communities, users will find newsletters, links, conferences, and professional opportunities of interest to the American Studies community. Technology and Learning offers indexes to online courses and syllabi, workshops, case studies, and other resources related to developing and improving electronic-based instruction. The Curriculum section includes guides to American Studies academic programs and essays on teaching the subject. Finally, Reference and Research features an American Studies Virtual Library and a collection of search tools. Instructors at any level who want to begin or improve their use of technology-based learning tools will find numerous items of interest.
