Creating a web
Jeremy Meadows wanted to connect with a growing web of friends with sites on the Internet. “I knew a lot of people that had them and I wanted to jump on the bandwagon, too,” said the English graduate student, who created www.msu.edu/~meadows7 in 1996. In the past four years, Meadows has seen the number of student Web sites rapidly branch out. “There are definitely a lot more Web sites since I started college,” he said. The Internet “really took off” during the 1995-1996 school year, said Dave Krauss, a senior specialist in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences who began teaching over the Internet with MSU’s first Virtual University course in fall 1996. Since then, constructing Web sites has become part of the curriculum for classes such as Computer Science 101 and sections of American Thought and Language.
