For about 50 minutes Whos is the invited speaker? Misa Gratton Misa Gratton has worked in the IT field all her life. She has used a variety of computers in different countries including Japan. From 1986 to 1989, she was Chief of Computer Services Unit, the United Nations University, Tokyo, Japan, where she gained significant experience in computers localized for the Japanese language and ones based on the English language, with their connectivity to international networks. Upon her return to Canada and working as a public servant, she undertook large IT planning projects including IT strategic planning. This led to an assignment to Carleton University to develop an IT strategic plan for the entire university community. In the process, she found an extremely interesting problem to describe IT infrastructure to support multilingual needs. She wishes to share her information with sensei gata involved in the Japanese language education. Short description of the presentation Since technical support resources are difficult and expensive to obtain, it is extremely effective to exchange technical information in eGroups, such as SenseiOnline. In such exchanges, it would be helpful if participants can use basic common terms which are well defined and used among a majority of computer and Internet users. This will introduce certain preciseness in describing problems and finding answers. The paper tries to explain "how things work" by using a basic set of technical terms. Its goal is to contribute to SenseiOnline by enhancing the information exchange on the use of computers and the Internet. What is going to happen? Misa sensei's paper is at <http://www.gratmis77.freeservers.com/SOL/> So read the paper above and go to TAPPED IN with the new interface.
