[nobe-l] tutoring online

[cheryl fogle]

Thanks, Hope, for offering to look at tutor.com.  I haven't heard of 
moodle.  Seems like online colleges use different course management systems.


Regarding silverlite and netflix, a friend of mine says that there's a 
list of keyboard commands on the netflix site.  You can do a search or 
we'll find the link for you.
