%X This paper describes the experience of delivering a course
on Operating Systems in a distance education
environment. A number of tools are described which
allowed the students to engage in the teaching and
practical, hands-on experiential learning that they would
have received had they been able to attend an on-site
class.
The students reported satisfaction with the course. Many
have continued with a subsequent course on PC Hardware
which is being offered based on the lessons learnt from
this initial offering.
