The University of Western Ontario is proud to present its Fall lineup of
online courses. We would like to thank everyone who inquired about
our Spring courses and apologize for those that were unable to attend
because of full courses. Our Spring courses were attended by people
world-wide including Australia, Japan and South America. These courses
are popular so I encourage you to reply as soon as possible if you have
any interest. This session's lineup includes courses on how the Internet
works, navigating the internet using such things as ftp, archie, gopher,
veronica, wais, email, telnet, the usenet newsgroups and the World Wide
Web. New this year is a course called "Know your Netiquette". We also
offer 2 levels of UNIX courses due to the response from those taking the
Introduction to UNIX course in the past who wanted to know more. We also
have created a special course for people who have just purchased a modem
and are wanting to get "online". They will not be able to see this so if
you know of someone in this situation bring their attention to this
notice. There will be a lot of telephone work in the beginning of this
course, as they are assisted in setting up their modem, so long distance
charges are a concern. If someone is enrolled in one of our other courses
this introductory course is free! This will help everyone who starts one
of the other courses get started immediately.
The following Western Online courses run from three to five weeks and are
conducted entirely online. By using an electronic mail system on one of
the University's host computers you will team up with other students in a
virtual classroom. Course handouts and exercises will be delivered
electronically. Class discussions will take place online with minimal
line charges for up and down loading time only. If you have access to
telnet from your site the charges will be whatever your local service has
them set at.
You work from your home or office computer at your convenience. We will
mail out your personal start-up kit that contains all the information you
need to get online.
The courses offered are:
Course Start Date
Computer Communications for Beginners Monday, Sept 3rd
Connect with the World: How Does the Internet Work? Monday, Sept 30th
Navigating the Internet Monday, Nov. 11th
An Introduction to UNIX (Level I) Monday, Oct. 7th
UNIX (Level II) Monday, Jan. 20th
Know your Netiquette Monday, Nov. 4th
These are the course offerings for the Fall of 1996 and we are also
wondering as to what type of courses you would be interested in for our
future sessions.
If any of these courses are of interest to you than email me directly.
Mention the course name and please make the subject heading online
courses. I will be more than happy to email you the course outline and
information regarding registering. Thank you for your time and I hope
that I have raised your curiosity. I hope to hear from you soon. Bye for now.
