| The broad range of technology initiatives suggests the strong potential of the digital environment. Emory is exploring that potential to transform teaching and research. | |||||
Emory is committed to making access to computers and the Internet easy for all members of the community. There are more than 500 publicly available computers; 45 percent of these are available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. There are 24,000 e-mail accounts at Emory. Emory and Georgia Tech are making plans for a biotechnology development center that will nurture promising technologies until they are strong enough to become stand-alone businesses. The center expects to spawn twenty-three start-up companies during the next ten years and to generate 4,000 new jobs. During a summer program, selected Emory faculty take a crash course in electronic technology and are shown how to incoporate web-based resources into their courses. | |||||
