As I've learned, many college courses post assignments and readings online using Blackboard and WebCT, not to mention emailing the professor is a common task (getting assignments from being absent or asking questions). It's most professors' preferred method of communication with students. Students also have school emails addresses which they're required to check daily for announcements and notifications. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad to see you taking the initiative Trudeau. I know you're good at getting students into the digital realm (i.e. putting a digital camcorder in my hands freshman year).<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work<BR/>-Evan F.ltlrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05074318811342838974noreply@blogger.com
