 | | Centennial College is currently implementing Lotus Notes for faculty and staff use at its campus in Toronto, Ontario. |
 | | First, Centennial staff and faculty had identified several administrative and educational needs: to produce and manage electronic forms, to calculate workload formulas, to replace Centennial's mainframe-based e-mail system with a POP3-compliant system, and to distribute curriculum via electronic modes of delivery, both at a distance and on-campus. |
 | | One challenge Evans has faced throughout Centennial's adoption of the Notes/Domino system is that of finding ways to convey exactly what Lotus Notes is. "The notion of an application that really doesn't do anything itself, that is more of a container or vessel for a database and database applications", says Evans, "is a conceptual leap". |
