[03] HOW CAN I BECOME A STUDENT ON SDF?
|
|
|
|
Do you have an instructor? Are you K-12 or in college? There are
|
|
always going to be more students than instructors on SDF and if you
|
|
are current enrolled you can propose the idea of using SDF to your
|
|
conventional instructors and see what they think. Some of the
|
|
benefits of having a classroom on SDF are:
|
|
|
|
1. Instructor/Students can manage their own accounts.
|
|
|
|
Typically at community colleges, universities and schools
|
|
there is quite a bit of bureaucracy involved with direct
|
|
UNIX shell access. SDF provide both instructors and students
|
|
with the liberty to create and delete their UNIX shell accounts.
|
|
|
|
2. Less access restrictions.
|
|
|
|
Even if you do get a request through to have accounts created,
|
|
you are typically limited by tiny quotas, slow machines and
|
|
access to programs/utilities
|
|
|
|
SDF allows the instructors to determine exactly what they want
|
|
their students to use. As well, SDF provides access to more
|
|
esoteric and newer programming utilities.
|
|
|
|
3. SDF is for a lifetime.
|
|
|
|
After a semester is over, or when you are no longer enrolled,
|
|
your account is typically removed from a university or K-12
|
|
system. SDF allows both instructors and students to become
|
|
permanent members of the organization.
