TIPSters, As many of you know, I am involved with the development of a psychology website for the WebCT corporation. Though our site is far from where it will be for the Fall classes, I have decided to routinely distribute various information about the site on TIPS for those that may wish to consider using the site for their own development and for possible use with your classes. So please feel free to visit the site and let me know what types of additional content you can use for yourself and your courses. Best wishes, Bill ps. A fully searchable TIPS archives will be appearing on the WebCT site this summer that will allow you to do a keyword search of the entire TIPS archives since June 1992. pss. As always, this website is a free site for everyone to use and does not require you to use the WebCT software. ****************************** WebCT's Psychology Community Psychology at a Glance May 15, 2000 Here's what's new this week in WebCT's Psychology Community! http://www.webct.com/psychology/home Check out these new articles, featured in the Psychology Library! ***Recovered memories and therapies based on them have been controversial topics in the mental health profession. There is widespread doubt about the validity of these recovered memories, however, and questions as to whether such memories may be "planted" by therapists in their patients' minds. Dreams take us to strange places and place us in impossible situations. Sometimes they look like our everyday life; sometimes they resemble an episode of X-Files. ***You're getting sleepy, very sleepy. Actually, if you're like most Americans, you're already sleepy--getting less than the eight hours of sleep a night experts recommend for adults. New Forum: How can I use WebCT.com in my class?
