Fascinating Reading from ICC Meeting (Employees Lining Up for Softcover Version) – These are solution/work-around for the issues related to using IE browser presented at the Wednesday ICC meeting.

Issue #1
I had an INB session open and clicked the IE browser shortcut on my desktop to open another web browser to work on something else. The Internet Explorer replaced my current INB session browser instead of opening a new browser and caused the loss of my INB session.

Solution:
Change your IE setting so that it will use new browser window instead of reusing the current open browser.
Select from the IE main menu: Tools -> Internet Options…. -> Advanced.Uncheck the “Reuse windows for launching shortcuts” option listed below the “Browsing” tree.

Issue #2
I get the connection error when I tried to open second INB session using the IE browser shortcut on my desktop.

Solution
To open your second INB session DO NOT use the INB shortcut. Instead, open a new browser with the IE icon on your desktop, taskbar or start menu and copy/paste the INB URL from your first session. Add (book mark) this site to your Favorite so you can easily access the INB site later.

Eastern Participating in National Survey of Student Engagement – The NSSE will soon come to ENMU and several hundred other colleges and universities across the
country. While it's easy to ignore surveys, this one is short but has the potential to actually make a difference in the quality of undergraduate education here and elsewhere because it asks the kinds of questions that matter to student learning and institutional effectiveness, according to a release from NSSE.

How much reading and writing is required? How often do students interact with other students who are from different backgrounds and cultures? How good is the academic advising? How many students work with faculty members on research and other activities? “A sample of 450 freshmen and 450 seniors will be asked to complete the survey. The survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete – they will be sent a paper copy initially or they can complete it on the Web,” says Dr. Sue Strickler. The survey will be mailed to the students and reach them around Feb. 14. The National Survey of Student Engagement is supported by a grant from The Pew Charitable Trusts to help colleges and universities improve undergraduate education. Pew is a philanthropic organization interested in college students and collegiate quality and is underwriting the project as a public service. Additional information about The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) is available on the Web
at http://www.iub.edu/~nsse/) or http://www.indiana.edu/~nsse/html/quick_facts.htm.

The day’s events include a luncheon, hosted by noted science fiction author Connie Willis.

Joining Dr. Williamson will be two other noted science fiction authors, Gregory Benford and Walter Jon Williams.

Benford is a physicist and astronomer at the University of California, Irvine, and serves as a consultant for NASA. His best-known novel, “Timescape” (1980), his popular Galactic Center series “In The Ocean of Night” (1977), “Across the Sea of Suns” (1984), and "many others are all marked by the talent of a gifted writer and the knowledge of a practicing scientist," according to a supplied biography.

Walter Jon Williams is the author of 20 novels and several short story collections. His science fiction is "varied, intelligent and powerfully imaginative," according to his bio. "Hardwired" (1986) and "Voice of the Whirlwind" (1987) extend cyberpunk in new directions. "The Rift" (1999), "Metropolitan" (1995), "City on Fire" (1996, Hugo and Nebula nominee), and his trilogy of "Dread Empire’s Fall" "create worlds that readers want to explore and long to escape from," according to his bio.
