Using
Distance Education Technology and the Web to Teach Music

Lawrence Leviton, Associate Professor of Music
UW-Stevens Point
With the help of a UW-Stevens Point technology grant,
Lawrence Leviton has enhanced his course webpages for
his "Music in Film" class. Using the WONDER
distance education network, Leviton taught the class to
UW-Stout last year and has offered it again this year
to UW-La Crosse; at La Crosse, however, students now have
the added opportunity to access music and view corresponding
video via the course webpage.
Digital
Music Clips for Teaching
Professor Art Bumgardner
Department of Music at UW-Superior
ABSTRACT
(no feature article available)
Professor Bumgardner uses a software program called the
clip creator to create excerpts from recorded music on
either compact discs or videodiscs for presentation in
class. Using digital media in class is much more efficient
than playing examples recorded on tape or records; with
digital media, he can immediately access any section of
music at any time for purposes of illustration. Professor
Bumgardner is also in the process of putting all of the
written assignments for his music theory course on the
computer using Finale so students can do their assignments
electronically and hear the assignments played back. You
