Communications


Extensive use is made of Communications and Information Technology in the teaching of the course, including the WebCT virtual learning environment.

Discussion-board

Members of the class have exclusive, password-protected, access to a dedicated electronic discussion-board contained within the WebCT element of this website. This facility is used to record the outcome of seminar discussions and to provide an additional opportunity for engaging further with the issues raised.

Electronic Mail

The class also has a collective e-mail address. Messages sent to sovrus@st-andrews.ac.uk are circulated automatically to all members of the class. (However, please note that the HTML mail-to facility - directly using the above link - is not available from open-access terminals.)

Class Directory

Individual e-mail addresses of members of the class are listed in the class E-mail Directory. The directory is password-protected.

Student Web Pages

Students with HTML skills may create their own Web pages relating to the course within the WebCT element. (IT Services provide on-line instructions for creating Web pages, and offer Web-authoring workshops.)

Training

At the beginning of the course, training is available in the general use of the campus network and the WebCT element in particular.
