Students would then make initial contact with the instructor via forms posted on the course web site. Forms would request information regarding the student's personal profile, place of employment, reason for taking the course, e-mail address, career goals, supervising teacher, etc. Much of this information would be used by the instructor to facilitate or confirm the student's field placement. These forms can be customized for data entry, sent as e-mail attachments, printed as hard copy, and annotated by the user. They are very versatile.
Students can then complete the lessons off-line.
The lessons can incorporate standard text documents, PowerPoint presentations, or a combination of both. Large documents can be displayed with a dynamic index on the left window pane. The annotation feature of Adobe Acrobat can be used to allow students to comment on journals written by other students. The featured journal would be accompanied by scenes recorded with a multimedia recorder, which would help the other students visualize a context or situation. Students who comment on the journal will receive points for doing so.
