From the supplier: Networked computers can be an effective medium for teaching interactive groups of students. This can be done through e-mail, bulletin board services, or through desktop conferencing. This model is often used where students and teachers are geographically separated, or have conflicting schedules. Teaching through networking provides several advantages, by allowing a greater concentration on student-centered learning. Students are more empowered to participate, and information is stored electronically and is easily retrievable. Using the e-mail model, teachers send out assignments via e-mail, and students e-mail back their assignments. Messages can be made public if desired. The bulletin board model allows for more flexibility. Neither takes full advantage of group dynamics or interaction, however. Groupware or desktop conferencing presents the best option. Groupware supports information sharing and collaboration.
