Each participant gets a login code and has access to the files of the course in which s/he is taking. The assignments and materials are posted in the website as well as a very useful forum to discuss assigments and other issues concerning the course taken. From my own experience these kinds of courses are more useful than other courses since the teacher gets to share experiences and ideas with other teachers from all over the country, not just his own region, in the field of that course (much like etni but in more specific issues, and with a gmul).
