Wayback Machine Internet Archive

What better way to start the New Year than with a look back at how far we've come? Check out UAH's very first website on the Wayback Machine Internet Archive. Besides being a great way to spend a rainy Sunday looking back in time at various websites, it's a fantastic resource for faculty and students. The tool has a feature that lets you "cement" a web reference in time, ensuring that it will never expire in a course you've developed, or in citations used for research. You can even build your own archives with no technical expertise! The Internet Archive offers extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari as well as mobile apps for both iOS and Android.

This tool needs to be on the top layer of your digital toolbox! I found this fantastic scale/change management tutorial from 2008 that has long since left the pages of the current Web and had left no trace in search results.

If you're interested in developing or taking your on-ground, hybrid, or online course to the next level, it's not too late to sign up for QEPO 2020! We have options for everyone from face-to-face sessions to completely online.

Happy New Year!

Looking back can be fun!
