Today's Featured Project
The instructional design camp is a set of course modules based around a core created by Peter Honebein and students of the Indiana University. Groups from other universities, as well as other researchers and experts, are welcome to add modules to this project. The goal of this learning experience is to develop the skills needed to design instructional material using media (especially communication technologies) to transfer knowledge as effectively as possible between teachers and learners. The project currently comprises about 130 pages included well-developed modules on crafting well-formed learning objectives, prioritizing content for learning experiences, designing constructivist learning experiences, designing instruction for cognitive behaviors, designing instruction for psychomotor behaviors, designing instruction for affective behaviors, designing instruction for interpersonal behaviors.

Turning a PC into a Zombie Computer
1. A virus writer sends out viruses, infecting ordinary users' PCs.
2. Infected PCs log into an IRC server or other communications medium, without their owners knowing, forming a network of infected systems known as a botnet.
3. A spammer purchases access to this botnet from virus writer or a dealer.
4. The spammer sends instructions to the botnet, instructing the infected PCs to send out spam.
5. The infected PCs send the spam messages to internet users' mail servers.
This is a diagram of the process by which spammers create and use zombie (virus-infected) computers to send spam. The diagram is for use when educating classes about the importance of keeping computers virus-free. It can also be used to explain to learners why it is that so much spam is received in their mailboxes and why unidentified attachments should not be opened.
