History and the Computer in Canadian Institutions

An Overview

Canadian universities have embraced the Internet and the web as central tools for management, publicity, and transfer of information. Word processing has become a fully integrated and unobtrusive element of computer technology. Historians and history departments have adopted the Internet and its tools but not necessarily other uses of the computer. Simulations and games are the most notable missing elements. History courses are only marginally present among Internet and distance-education services. Prudence and respect for basic methods are the noteworthy aspects of Canadian historians' use of the computer; although, pioneers are at work both individually and institutionally.

Key Words: Internet • simulations • games • tradition • methods • word processing
