Mount Royal College students are taking notes, picking up assignments and getting homework help – all without leaving home.

Environmental technology students use an MRC computer bulletin board system. It lets them find information by phoning from home computers.

“It’s the wave of the future, an interactive way to deliver information,” says Ray Sloan, environmental technology instructor.

The system, in the chemical and biological sciences department, uses bulletin board software tailored by instructional assistant Steve Swettenham.
