Four days after a participant receives a lecture, any related questions, comments and opinions about any lesson during the school can be (depending on the lecturer):
- Discussed on the Web forum on the Virtual School web site, or
- Sent to the lecturer by e-mail (Project leader will collect comments, opinions and questions send them to a lecturer and then return lecturer's responses to participants).
If a participant sends comments to the project leader or post them to the web forum there is no need to confirm the reception of lesson.
Participants will receive all instructions about the school.
