Abstract

Education continues to move on-line through the World Wide Web. Classrooms of students and teachers are no longer restricted by time or distance. ClassNet (http://classnet.cc.iastate.edu/) is a tool which manages these virtual classrooms: It automates many of the administrative tasks associated with global Internet classes. Through a simple interface of Web forms, students may perform activities such as class registration, assignment submission, and grade retrieval. Meanwhile, instructors may perform tasks such as managing assignments, controlling class enrollment, communicating with students, and monitoring student progress. This article highlights features of ClassNet's design and functionality and provides examples of its use.
