Description:

The Experiment Sign-Up Site was created in response to the demand for an organized way of signing up for experiments. This site allows students to sign-up for experiments with a minimal amount of information -- thus making the sign-up process quick and easy for students and scheduling and administering experiments easy for instructors.

The experiment sign-up site has the ability to send mass e-mails to enrollees with reminders of the time and date of their experiment and/or to update the information they originally received about the experiment. The site is smart enough to remember when a student has already taken an experiment, and to show only the remaining experiments that are available.

An administrative area allows instructors to add new experiments and to modify times, dates and enrollment restrictions and to perform other types of monitoring tasks.
