In class I use the analogy of students going to one building to sign up for a class and then attending, and participating in, the class in another building. In other words, they go to the Administration Bldg. at a certain address on campus and sign up. (Subscribe to listserv) Then they go to another building at another address on campus to attend class, listen to lectures and discussions, and turn in homework. (Receive and send messages from the listserv) If they decide to drop the class, they would have to go back to the original address, the Administration Bldg. They couldn't do that from the classroom.
