[comp.sys.isis] Teaching with ISIS

lchirica@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU (Laurian Chirica) (11/16/90)

Hello everyone,

I just installed ISIS 2.1, ran some of the demos, and I am very excited
about it and about the possiblity of developing a course in distributed
computing using ISIS.  Are there people on the net who use ISIS for 
teaching such a course? If so, are you willing to share
some of your teaching materials (outline, assignments, reading list)? 

If this question was asked before, I apologize, and I kindly request
a summary of the replies.  If not, I will summarize and forward the
the answers to anyone interested.

Thanks,

Since we've recently had several postings concerning questions/reports of
teaching distributed computing courses using ISIS, I would like to provide
the service of compiling these postings for reference.  I would request that
if you are presently using ISIS for teaching purposes, have used it in the
past, or are considering using it, that you send me an email letting me know
about your experiences or questions.  I will compile and post a summary of 
this information.

Please send the email directly to me to avoid excessive clutter on 
comp.sys.isis.  And by the way, to the many people who have already sent 
such reports, if you could either send a recap, or at least your name and 
institution (so I can dig through the news archive for the original!), I 
would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
