Extending the conversation: integrating efiail and web technology in CS programming classes David M. Arnow and Dayton Clark Dept. of Computer and Information Science Brooklyn College of CUNY Brooklyn, NY 11210 {arnow,dayton}f@ sci.brooklyn.cuny Abstract It is becoming increasingly commonplace to utilize web technology as a vehicle for course material delivery. When used in this fashion, the web page becomes an alternative form of textbook or lab manual. In this paper we describe a different use of the web, where the web page becomes an alternative form of the classroom itself. This is achieved by using other network technologies, such as email, remote program execution and automatic program checking, and integrating them or using them in conjunction with the web. reporting .edu such developments. 1 Introduction Browsing through the various CS department home pages or looking over the most recent SIGCSE Technical Symposium programme, it is apparent that web technology is rapidly becoming the vehicle of choice for delivering course material that augments the textbook. In some cases, the HTML documents are extremely elaborate and comprehensive [8, 13]. When used in this fashion, the web page becomes a valuable alternative form of textbook or lab manual.
