Photocopying would be very costly and time consuming. Electronic mail is very fast and a message can be sent to one or 20 students with no extra effort thanks to a class list established. It is also entirely free to both the instructor and the students. Class meets three times a week for 50 minutes in a regular classroom. Except for the first class session where a short orientation in the computer laboratory is needed, students write and use the computers outside of class time.
Students have access to computer labs during the day or in the evening on the university campus.
Students each have their own personal e-mail account with an internet address and a password. It allows them to send and receive messages and pictures electronically. They also have unlimited access to the world wide web where they can obtain information on many different topics, such as geography, music, news, history, art or sports and many more. Professors also have e-mail accounts, and can create a web site where pertinent information and useful links are gathered. It is updated regularly with new URLs.
