The Weatherhead School of Management offers courses in conjunction with affiliated schools in Hungary and Japan. The School of Dentistry arranged for dental faculty in Pittsburgh to teach some courses last year while the school conducted a search to fill vacancies in pediatric dentistry. A wide variety of CWRU faculty are developing experiences with distance learning, Neff said. A priority system, based in part on graduation standing, will help guide access and limit use to avoid straining the program and the back-end mainframe system upon which it is based. At the end of each computer session, the system e-mails the student and adviser an updated summary of the student's registration selections.
Students can still register in person.
The system does not yet allow electronic authorization for courses that require permits, schedules with an overload of credit hours, or enrollment beyond pre-specified course limits. Students also like the ability to waive the health fee online. We think that the students would rather be online than in line. While on campus, ZDTV personnel interviewed Carl Tashian, a junior computer engineering major from Nashville, and Kelly L. Hill, a junior literature major from Wauseon, Ohio. Tashian and friends started the service in fall 1998 to create an online campus community, and to help computer engineering students gain experience running their own network.
