Abstract
Description
Many universities have developed computerized systems to deliver their educational material. AGNET (an acronym for AGricultural NETwork) is one such system but is unique for many reasons. This system is reviewed in this article. AGNET was developed with two major principles in mind. First, the system had to be user friendly so anyone could use it, regardless of previous computer experience. Second, it had to be capable of rapidly disseminating perishable data, such as market prices and information. AGNET is a time-sharing system.
