Requirements for Hosting a Course |
- A pre-registered audience of at least 20 people
- An auditorium or similar setting with computer projection capabilities and/or
- A multi-workstation computer classroom with internet access and standard web browsers for each machine
- An instructor's workstation with projection capabilities in the computer classroom
-
Installation of Cn3D 4.1 on each computer in the classroom

We now offer several schedules based on the size of your computer classroom(s) and the expected number of participants. These guidelines assume that all participants will attend both computer workshops.
Please note that if you want to use more than one computer classroom, we can generally support teaching in only two computer classrooms simultaneously.
These schedules are only guidelines. We will work with you to customize the schedule to accommodate your specific situations.
Schedule 1: A small one-day course
Designed for small courses where the computer classroom(s) will accommodate all of the participants.
Example: Your computer classroom has 25 stations and you expect no more than 25 participants.
Schedule 2: A large one-day course
Designed for larger courses where the number of participants is less than twice the capacity of the available computer classroom(s).
Example: You have two computer classrooms that have 15 stations each and you expect no more than 60 participants.
Schedule 3: A large two-day course with two lectures
Designed for large courses requiring two days of workshops. This schedule requires a lecture hall in the morning for two days, and will accommodate four times the capacity of your computer classrooms.
Example: If your computer classroom has 40 stations, the schedule will accommodate 160 participants.
Schedule 4: A large two-day course with one lecture (our 2004 schedule)
Designed for large courses requiring two days of workshops. This schedule requires a lecture hall in the morning for only one day, and will accommodate four times the capacity of your computer classrooms.
Example: If your computer classroom has 40 stations, the schedule will accommodate 160 participants.
