At Rock Valley College in Rockford Illinios they have something called EdNet. Simply put it's a graphical BBS that can be accessed via the web or through computers on campus. When you sign up for a class there you automatically receive an EdNet account. The system seems to work well for Rock Valley and the few other schools that I've heard use it. It doesn't necassarly have to be EdNet but this is kind of a system is interesting because the teachers can create there own "Room" for there classes. Within these rooms you can post comments or questions, get a chat going with another student, or just get your homework assignment. I'm not sure were one would go to get info about EdNet specifically but I'm sure a search in google will reveal something.
