Potholes on the Information SuperHighway

Student Learning Curve

1. Finding out your Web Id.
2. Finding out your Web Password.
3. Seeking and finding help.
4. Finding the correct Web site.

Multimedia Woes

Videos

Video comes out jumpy, not smooth, if it works at all.

Java/JavaScript Simulations

1. 15 out of 40 students reported technical problems.
2. Huge variety of browsers: Netscape 2, 3, 4, and 5, AOL (Mozilla/2 compatible), Internet Explorer 2 and 4. Not all are from on-campus: Sample access statistics for past 2 weeks.
3. Java not always on.
4. Jerky, un-physical motion--especially on slightly "slower" computers.

Equity.

Not all students have computers capable of running all the assignments.
