OpenLearning Web Site on Enteric Pathogens
------------------------------------------
Dear friends of ACLI OpenLearning on Enteric Pathogens web site,
we are glad to inform you about our new activities. Visiting our
site http://www.aclisassari.com/acli-openlearning you can notice
a new organization of the lectures: visualizing and download the
lectures has never been easier than today! And as a registered
user of ACLI OpenLearning websites, you can choose to search the
lectures by authors or titles and download them in different
format files. You can also find useful resources in Material and
methods: a wealth of educational material available, a list of
Links, reviewed references, news and events. In Forum section
you can propose subjects and find answers on enteric patholo-
gies.
REMEMBER: to participate in the Forum section, registration is
needed. If you havent already registered to the Forum, register
now to see the full content.
Best regards,
Salvatore Rubino
