This is not set up as of yet and I cannot say that this is an option as of
yet any of these ways until it has been determined how and if we can or
will do it.
I will gather any information that any one wants to investigate, but I
cannot answer these questions until I receive some information on how it can be
done, where it can be done, who will be in charge or responsible of being
sure it is done and done correctly.
If you want things done then step up to the plate and help to make this
happen.
I have heard lots of great ideas here.

Just for clarification, the teacher is totally responsible for what method
they choose to teach the class?
