This course is about computerheory and technology, and requires mountains of homework. Each student receives private storage space for documents. E-mail messages and attachments can be forwarded directly to a student's NetDocuments account.
Students can even use a personal digital assistant for document viewing.
In two days, Geddes set up the NetDocuments system for his class, documented the procedures and trained the class on the system. Documents use Secure Sockets Layer for transmission between clients and NetDocuments' systems in a commercial bank's federally regulated data center. Students submit homework, Geddes gradeshe papers and then returns them, all within NetDocuments' system. All class members are local, so BYU's large campus network carries the majority of the traffic. NetDocuments supports any client anywhere on the Internet, but that isn't a concern for Geddes' students today.
