Abstract :
Like many western universities, the University of Wollongong is offering degrees to an increasing number of offshore students. Our usual offshore teaching model involves intensive delivery of course material. Disadvantages of this model include the brevity of student contact with the UOW academic and delays in response to student questions and concerns regarding the subject. We discuss some results of an experiment using inexpensive and readily available Internet technologies to overcome those disadvantages.
