It has been invaluable in terms of communication across programs. The students now feel that they know each other and feel linked to the school. With Embanet they are now getting to know students in many different programs, transferring notes to new students, and using the Embanet very effectively to communicate and plan projects, plan parties, plan their lives. Agendas, group projects, social notes and assignments whiz through the system, saving time, cost and frustration for everyone involved. And through it all we benefited from excellent service and follow-up by the system administrators.
Embanet communications are immediate and accessible from everywhere.
Most students log on and off once a day no matter where they're traveling. Embanet allows us to stay in touch and deliver assignments to either our group, or to the faculty when we're on the road, or just home with the kids for the evening. Time is always at a premium when you are enrolled in an education program and working full time too. Embanet has made it extremely easy to communicate not only with the entire class when appropriate, but also with my study group members. This has facilitated the sharing of group assignments and knowledge without the need to meet or to scramble to various fax machines.
