A Pragmatic Solution to Distribute Courses over the Internet

چکیده
Our University organizes evening lectures leading to a degree in computer science. Lectures take place two evenings per week and every Saturday morning. The students enrolled in this program are professional, with heavy family and business duties. They can not attend all lectures.
