- Faculty can consult students about the choice of material,
prior to the start of a course. Students can access/ download notes and interact
with faculty, independent of location and time
|
- The fact that specialist courses cannot be given in person
each term/ semester/ year becomes relatively unimportant. They can still be
studied at other times, in reading/ conference/ project mode
|
- Students can access web pages put up by other groups
working in related areas, and can incorporate them into course pages.
Further material, including working programs/ models can be prepared/ explored
as projects, maybe in collaboration with other institutions.
|
- In interdisplinary areas, each student has a different
background, and therefore finds different parts of a course difficult. Thus
background projects by each student can benefit all students, whether or not
they are following the course formally for credit
