> I am very curious to know how many Universities out there

> entitled Taming the Electronic Frontier taught by Brad Cox at
> George Mason University.  This is a fully electronic class.
> The instructor is video taped and broadcasted on local cable
> stations throughout the area.  All assignments are broadcasted
> to the instructor and other students through E-mail.  The old
> fashioned hard copy is obsolete in this classroom.  When I
> studied for my undergraduate in Florida around five years ago,
> none of my classmates nor myself were exposed to the internet
> or any kind of electronic mail for any of our classes.  Is
> teaching via the internet and electronic communications to the
> instructor and students something that has evolved since my
> undergraduate days or are only certain Universities promoting
> this type of electronic teaching?

> I see a new evolution with electronic classes in the future.  My
> library is the internet!  I honestly don't know where the actual
> library is located on my campus--I have no need for it when I
> can modem up on my computer at home and use Gopher and

> this way of teaching as they pave the roads to the Super
> Highway.
