Abstract :
This paper describes the development and implementation of a Web-based system to support staff and students in the delivery of computer science distance education. An electronic assignment subsystem assists course advisers in the management of marking and ensures prompt, secure assignment submission and return. A newsgroup subsystem allows students to participate in the dialogue of a "virtual classroom" and receive prompt feedback to queries.
