BURNLEY College has plugged into the information super highway.
This month, the teaching centre has become an Internet service provider, enabling students, businesses and schools to undertake training courses and do home and course work via the college's web connection.
The Internet service, designed by IT business firm P and P, will give college students individual e-mail addresses and is central to the college's plans for developing open electronic learning for schools, business and people unable to attend courses in person.
Course work can now be e-mailed to tutors to be marked, who will then be able to return it to students, via the Internet which, they say, is securely protected from unauthorised access.
