EDUCATION Professor wins distance-learning award Marilyn Ryan, professor of nursing, has been named the inau- gural winner of the Rawlings Outstanding Distance Education Teaching Award. Last year, Ryan taught seven distance-learning courses that were broadcasted to 81 graduate students around the state. Ryan received high marks from students and faculty for her engaging learning environment. The award was established by the School of Extended Education to honor a full-time professor who is dedicated to teaching continuing education courses at off-campus sites. Joseph Rawlings, for which the award was named, is dean emeritus of the School of Extended Education.

INTERNET Sites missing from Google searches NEW YORK (AP) — What you get through Google’s powerful and popular search engines may depend on what language you prefer. A report Thursday from Harvard Law School found dozens of sites missing from search results when accessing Google sites meant for French and German users. Most of the missing sites are ones that deny the Holocaust or promote white supremacy. France and Germany have strict laws banning hate speech. The sites themselves were not blocked, but the effect is the same when users cannot find them, said Danny Sullivan, editor of SearchEngineWatch.com. ‘‘Search engines are an incredible tool for people to locate information on the Web,’’ Sullivan said. ‘‘If you pull a Web site out of a search engine, you are in some degree censoring, in some degree making it inaccessible to some people.’’ DN CROSSWORD
