Abstract
One of the most interesting recent developments in computer technology has been the rapid expansion of computer-assisted information exchange, including use of e-mail systems, local bulletin board services, and the World Wide Web. David Fetterman, Director of Research and Evaluation at the California Institute of Integral Studies and Director of the M.A. Policy Analysis and Evaluation Program in the School of Education at Stanford University, explores in this article the features, opportunities, and problems related to using computer information exchange technologies for teaching an ethnography course. Applied anthropologists may be interested in his experiences as they design, implement, and evaluate research and intervention projects involving computer-assisted interactive training components.
