This may already have been discussed here and if so, please
refer me to the previous discussion.

In designing an Internet training session, one goal was to provide as
much of a real life situation as possible.  This means allowing
each student individually to navigate from a telnet prompt to various
library catalogs, for example.  If the class is organized on
either a drop-in basis or is a traditional library "one-shot" lecture
it is doubtful that students will already have an email address or
be identified to the instructor on an individual basis.  In reviewing
various approaches to teaching the Internet, I am unable to find
details about how instructors actually handle the mechanics of
individual accounts or passwords in order to allow temporary
Internet access.

How are people dealing with the password/account issue?  Are the
passwords being issued on the spot?  If so, how are you doing it
efficiently and in a very short amount of time?  Are requests made to
the computing center for temporary passwords?  Other solutions?

Please respond to me directly and I will be happy to summarize the
results for the group at large.


for temporary accounts/passwords?  Are they ignoring the entire issue?
