 Mid to Late 1990's 
I was the first professor at Fanshawe College to have a personal website that 
I built myself and the first to use the internet extensively for all 
of the courses that I was teaching. 
I had the internet on cable at my home with a static IP address, so I was able 
to set up my own internet server. I ran WinNT Server 4.0 with web, ftp, time 
and chat server software. I put the course outlines and assignment sheets on 
the web site, had students submit assignments using ftp, encouraged 
extensive use of e-mail, and posted student grades to a password protected 
section of the web site. The time server updated my system clock each day 
so that it was reliable, a requirement since the student assignments were 
graded based partly on the timeliness of their completion. 
I was also among the first to teach Java. I had the students download and 
install a very early version of the JDK onto some OS/2 systems, and write 
some simple programs and applets.
