When teaching people how to use the network I use the hands on approach.
I display my activity and have people work along. We have a lab with 25 pcs
going into the network. The first place I always take them is into the MOREinfo
BBS. It has enough information that they can always telnet back to it for help
when nobody else is around. To get to it
telnet MIZZOU1.MISSOURI.EDU
on either the command line or the logon line (either one but not both) enter
MOREINFO
no password required. Then just select the item you wish to review by the
number. It has library, discussion list, teaching success stories, etc. on
it.
This allows them to find the part of the network they are interested in using
it also allows them to work at their own speed.
