We have completed the development of a web-based resource for psychology research. This resource provides an organized and annotated list of psychology research demonstrations, tutorials, experiments, and projects in three areas: (1) cognitive and experimental psychology, (2) social and personality psychology, and (3) industrial and organizational psychology. This resource ("Internet Research Resources for Psychology"), designed primarily for use by psychology instructors, is available at:
http://www.denison.edu/psych/mellon/mellon2
We also have nearly completed an online "Psychology Web Lab" that faculty can use to assign specific research projects for students in courses such as General Psychology, Social Psychology, Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Sensation and Perception, and Psychology of Language and Thought. Some web-related issues (e.g., file downloads, controlling user access to background information) need to be resolved before this lab can be used in fall semester. This resource is available at:

We plan on providing a "training session" to our colleagues in August although both of these web resources are now available and linked to the Psychology Department homepage. Finally, each of us will attend a professional conference in the next academic year in order to share our project (and to learn from others' projects) in discussions of web-based teaching and research resources in psychology.
