In 2017 my Website was migrated to the clouds and reduced in size.
Hence some links below are broken.
One thing to try if a “www” link is broken is to substitute “faculty” for “www”
For example a broken link http://faculty.trinity.edu/rjensen/Pictures.htm
can be changed to corrected link http://faculty.trinity.edu/rjensen/Pictures.htm
However in some cases files had to be removed to reduce the size of my Website
Contact me at rjensen@trinity.edu if you really need to file that is missing

• With a little help from my friends, I learned some new things about PDF files this week.  You can read my comments and the threaded messages at http://faculty.trinity.edu/rjensen/acrobat.htm 

  I illustrate how it is quite easy to convert a HTML document into a PDF document (an almost perfect conversion) versus converting a PDF document back into a HTML document ( a less-than-perfect conversion).

  I thread Richard Campbell's message about how to secure an online PDF document such that nobody can copy any part of the document or print any part of the document (other than to capture portions of pages as graphics files).  It is also possible to secure an online PDF document such that it cannot be converted into HTML using Adobe's conversion program.

  I provide update threads on Adobe's new and frustrating PDF search engine that appears to be outsourced to Altavista.  Craig Polhemus mentions some alternative PDF search engines being considered by the American Accounting Association.

  It's a big deal," said Andreessen, who met with Gnutella developers last week and quickly became an admirer. "It will be a way for businesses to expose what they want people to find more easily."

• Interactive DHTML
  I have an Excel spreadsheet embedded in an HTML document that illustrates how students can change the data in one or more cells and then see the outcomes change in other parts of the spreadsheet and graphs. The important thing is that they can do these dynamic changes in the web browser without downloading an Excel file and then having to run the file in Excel.  They never have to leave the web browser.  This is a new feature of Excel 2000.  You can do the same thing with MS Access databases.  It only takes about five minutes to learn how to do this.  The illustrations and instructions are at http://faculty.trinity.edu/rjensen/dhtml/excel01.htm.

  http://faculty.trinity.edu/rjensen/245cont.htm

  Both the 1994 and the 1997 versions of this book are intended to make educators more informed about past, present, and future impacts of technology on education. Chapter 2 of the book raises many questions concerning why educators must change with the times and what dangers lurk for using technologies in ineffective ways. Chapter 3 reviews software and hardware options for authoring course modules or entire course management systems on CDs, campus networks, and the Internet. Chapter 4 summarizes what accountancy professors are using for technology aids around the world. Chapters 5 and 6 review the research and opinions of leading educators and technology developers.
