Other Cooperative learning people presenting workshops or major papers at the Lilly Conference include Phil Cottell and Barbara Millis. Their latest book on cooperative learning was reviewed by Jim Cooper in our last newsletter. The Lilly Conference is also available on the web at the following address: http://www.muohio.edu/lillyconference/ Susan Ludlow and Neil Davidson (one of our former IASCE board members) were also at the 18th Annual Lilly conference on College Teaching. Susan has recently received a FIPSE grant to provide a website containing Cooperative Learning Resources for College Teaching . That site is also available from our web page in the Resources section. Her site is up and running and available at: http://bestpractice.net/ Spencer Kagan's company, Kagan Cooperative Learning, has begun sending out an electronic newsletter which is available on the world-wide-web in his homepage. Our IASCE webpage provides a hyperlink to his web page from our "Resources on Cooperative Learning" site. To this date, there have been four newsletters provided by Spencer Kagan. They contain some very practical suggestions, as well as a current calendar of workshops throughout the year and the world. One of our newest IASCE board members, George Jacobs, oversees a tremendous electronic resource in cooperative learning: The Cooperative Learning Listserv. Directions on how to subscribe to this listserv are contained on our web page in the "Resources on Cooperative Learning" site. In a recent discussion on the CL Listserv several books were mentioned which might be helpful to those considering incorporating technology into their cooperative learning applications. While the books listed below are not reviewed here, they may be a definite help for those interested in pursuing the connection between cooperative learning and technology. Collis, B. and Heeren, E.
