When I input data into BCIT's grade book, the students can follow their progress during the course though the myBCIT website. Early this morning, I finished correcting the final exams and turned in my final grades through my browser. For the first time ever, I also ran some Cognos reports from my living room. I was able to save them directly as PDF files and email to our program assistant.
It almost reminded me of the fun I got when sneaking into the computer science building at Keene State College. I would type letters to friends at UNH on some old VAX system which was connected through a leased line to the other side of the state. Sometimes I wonder how I managed to get a such a liberal-arts type of education when sporting such nerdy characteristics.
