Tell the rest of your colleagues that I will be unusually late for today's class. However, I have asked the systems administrator to give you access to the Internet, so you can continue working on your group and individual tasks. I have full access to Internet and I can be monitoring what each of us is doing, to be able to give you appropriate advise. Will get to you very soon). David - Facilitator.20.Oct.2011)
