I think Catherine's idea is grand. - I would really welcome an overview/statement about the intent and objectives of the course before I plunge and discuss. - Vis a vis the one at a time, I agree.

(and working with my tangential thought processes, it happens!!) $-) - Should their be a time limit to the access for each program? for security/copywright purposes?
