This one is really boring, there's too much text and we can't go anyplace else. Time is also always an issue. All consulting sessions are limited to 50 minutes. Exposing students to the wide variety of resources and support available is crucial when a session is cut short and a student feels stranded.

When students find that they can embed images of their choice or have music on their web page, they often warm up to the idea of web publishing.
