Title: IEEE Global History Network
Presenter: Dr. John Vardalas, IEEE
History Center Outreach Historian
Webinar Information: The webinar will
discuss the IEEE GHN's goals, contents,
and features. This webinar will show how
it easy it is for IEEE members to log-on
and participate directly in creating the
public historical record of electrical,
electronics and computer technologies.
The IEEE Global History Network (GHN) is
a bold, new website dedicated to the
histories of electrical. electronics and
computer technologies. The IEEE GHN is a
wiki like Wikipedia. But unlike
Wikipedia, IEEE GHN encourages more far
more diverse historical content. Like
Wikipedia anyone can explore the IEEE
GHN, but unlike Wikipedia, writing to
the IEEE GHN is restricted to IEEE
members, other technical authorities,
and professional historians. With the
IEEE GHN, IEEE members can be active
collaborators in the writing of history.
They can share their past experiences in
designing, developing, testing,
manufacturing, and commercializing new
products and services. On the IEEE GHN,
users can debate the ideas surrounding
history of technological progress. The
IEEE GHN also empowers IEEE members to
collaborate in documenting the histories
of their Societies, Regions, and
Sections
