A school is asked to nominate a member of staff as a responsible person. They can then request a full list of the groups available and add other groups, of use to them and the students, to the list. We recommend that the responsible member of staff monitors these groups for a week or two to ensure that the contents are what they expect and are suitable for the school. To ensure that students do not have access to unsuitable newsgroups we have refined our filtering system. Should a school come across a group that is unsuitable, we will remove it from those available as quickly as possible.
Conversations take place one sentence at a time, being typed in at a keyboard.
There are several on-line chat services available on the Internet and many servers which provide public access. Unfortunately the public access to chat forums means that you cannot be sure that the people using the system are who they claim to be. A lot of public servers are used to pass files of a dubious nature. With the Zetnet service, we provide a server that can only be connected to by approved sources. Schools with other providers will be able to connect by making a suitable request and providing technical information.
