Now any student can create their own study area online!

Today's student spends a large portion of their time researching and working on the Internet. The resources they search for are located in hundreds of places online and finding them is a task in itself. Now students have the capability of creating a study area online to access all their study needs in one place at Global Study Hall. Students will be able to add selected research links, personal links, e-mail addresses and more! Students will also have access to common tools both on the Internet and available for download to their own computer.

In their January 15th, 2001 issue FamilyFirst.com, one of the Internet's premiere family websites, said, "Every student needs all of the help that they can get in finding good studying resources. Here's one worth bookmarking"(http://www.familyfirst.com/1-15-01.htm).

"Global Study Hall is dedicated to helping students succeed in their academic careers and we are seeking support from others in the high tech industry to offer students the best tools and resources available." says Steven Christensen, an experienced technical support manager for Distance Education at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, owner and Webmaster for Global Study Hall.

Some other resources that are currently being planned are tutoring services and a comprehensive online degree and course search option.
