Fifteen students participatedin the pilot class and had the option of using the CNLS system or laboratory equipment.Few restrictions were implemented in the management software since it was a smallgroup and because the software package was new to the faculty. It was assumed thatstudents would be ethical in using the system and since it was a small group systemadministration would be minimal.All students in the pilot course used the CNLS system, but usage varied
