We supply the major resources as pdf files in a zip file format so that you can download to your computer once and read without needing to log on to the Internet. All discussion postings are automatically sent to you as emails, but you will need to log on to contribute to the discussion (if you prepare your message first, you will only need a short time online to post it). The discussions are to exchange experiences and explore the issues in depth with the tutor, and the student feedback is that they are very valuable. There are no exams, but the assignments for academic credit can be prepared in advance and, as with the discussions, you will only need a short time online to submit the assignment.
