This RFC solicits comments from the +Network community on the desirability of doing on-site classes. + +A brief outline of course contents is included at the end of this RFC, +together with some logistic information which we feel is necessary to +conducting a useful class. + +Please review this information, and let us know whether such a class +would be useful if conducted at or near your site. We are eager to +participate in this way, because we know it will be useful to us to have +the benefit of consultation with experienced Network users. + +As we have to schedule our people's time in advance, we are tentatively +considering making trips to Washington D.C. during the first week of +May, and to Boston during the first week of June, for the purpose of +conducting classes. We will consider other arrangements, however, +if they would be more satisfactory. + +Please respond by April 15 to Marilyn Auerbach (MFA) at the NIC +(415)326-6200 extension 3722. + + +NLS Class Information + +The class is a comprehensive introduction to the use of NLS over the +Network. The class generally runs for two to three days, depending on +the composition and interests of the participants. + +For purposes of planning, the following information will be useful: + + 1. We have found the optimum class size to be six, with an upper + limit of ten. + + 2. We need a room large enough to hold the number of students, with + a teletype-type terminal and appropriate connections for each + student, a flip-chart stand and a large blackboard. + + + + +Auerbach [Page 1] + +RFC 488 NLS Classes at Network Sites March 1973 + + +Class Outline - TNLS Course + +We have held NLS classes approximately a dozen times. In all, nearly a +hundred people have attended these classes. While we feel that the +training has been helpful, we also recognize that teaching the class at +SRI-ARC tends to overlook special problems of working through the +Network and special interests of other sites. + +The people who conduct the class are experienced in working out +procedures for using NLS in work environments. Therefore, please accept +the outline below as a flexible one, one that can be tailored to fit +particular applications or needs. + +Part I: Elementary Concepts + + 1. Introduction to NLS + 2.
