Hello, Vinnie. I certainly agree that retention improves with proper
advising of students and with support for the instructor. I plan to be
at your discussion, so here's what I'm going to ask:

If students may not succeed because of "shoddy support," how would you
describe "good enough support" for students enrolled in an
Internet-based course which requires students to read web pages, to
conference asynchronously, and to chat synchronously (perhaps using
WebCT and The Palace)--as well as to write papers and take exams?
