    Hi there,

    I am interested in hearing anyone's experience about using collaborative
    software (webct/yahoo groups etc.) for interdisciplinary seminar-style
    courses: especially those with a geographic/ethnographic slant (Canadian
    Studies, American Studies, African Studies, Eastern European Studies etc.).

    For example, I could imagine the ability for student(s) to engage in
    discussion with many professors from many disciplines through chat sessions or
    newsgroups being something that would be very rewarding, but does it work in
    practise? Are students and/or professors usually willing to participate in
    such things?

    Thanks in advance for your input!

    Sincerely,

    Ryan. . .
