electronic texts, such as those at Inkling.
Language students create podcasts with
GarageBand.
Students on clinical rotations may record
data on their mobile devices and upload the
information to a central system. Biology
majors use the iPad to record and then ana-
lyze lab data. Students across majors have
been adding multimedia components, like
podcasts or videos, to their assignments.
To make sure the infrastructure can
support all these uses, the university up-
graded its wired/wireless data system to
provide constant gigabit Ethernet capabil-
ity to each user’s desktop, secure wireless
connectivity for mobile devices, and traffic
prioritization for seamless Voice Over
Internet Protocol technology across 25
campus buildings in three locations.

As a math historian, I have been excited
to see the increased availability of original
sources online over the past decade or
so. Two resources stand out for me. One
is the Euler Archive, a collection of the
many works of the famous 18th-century
mathematician Leonhard Euler. The site
contains a searchable database of Euler’s
works, with translations of some of the
papers. I have used the archive for some of
my own research, and I occasionally use
it in my mathematics classes. The Euler
Archive was developed by two gradu-
ate students at Dartmouth, and it is now
hosted by the Mathematical Association of
America ( eulerarchive.maa.org). Another
site I find very useful is Gallica (gallica
. bnf.fr), a digital archive maintained by the
French National Library. While this site
contains documents from a wide variety of
subjects, I find a lot of interesting histori-
cal mathematics there.

The field of computer forensics is rap-
idly evolving. On average, there is roughly
one new cellular telephone every three
days, and Gartner research has predicted
that media tablet sales will more than tri-
ple in 2011 to 63.6 million units. Because
the array of mobile devices is so diverse,
for a multitude of diverse technologies,
academics have become increasingly
reliant on online resources to keep their
students apprised of the latest methods of
forensic analysis. Every time a new Apple
device is released, there are changes in that
device’s operating system and programs.
The Apple Examiner (appleexaminer
.com), owned and maintained by the Mac
forensics expert Ryan R. Kubasiak, is an
excellent resource for finding out the lat-
est developments. Even more invaluable
information can be acquired by joining
online groups on services like LinkedIn.
For those interested in computer forensics,
these groups include Cyber Crime 101,
Future Crimes, N YC4SEC, and iPhone
Forensics. Online digital-forensics orga-
nizations like SWGDE ( swgde.org) and
SANS ( sans.org) produce terrific white pa-
pers. And students like You Tube and other
video tutorials, too.

Although I have yet to incorporate digital
archives into my research, I make use of
them in several of my classes. The best
example is my course on World War II.
Because this course is both online and on a
compressed schedule (seven weeks), I give
students a choice of preset research topics
that come with easily accessed online re-
sources. The unit on Holocaust perpetrators
makes use of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Re-
source Center’s site. The unit dealing with
the motivation for serving in the armed
forces directs students to the Rutgers Oral
History site ( oralhistory.rutgers.edu).
As part of “New Nation,” a course on
the Revolutionary era, there’s a unit on
Native Americans, and groups trace the
relations among various tribes and the
government using treaties between the
United States and the Indian nations.
Those pacts are collected in “Indian Af-
fairs: Laws and Treaties,” provided by
Oklahoma State University, at digital.
