What's In A Name?

So we often get asked where our name comes from? I thought I would take a couple of minutes to address that. So the original idea centered around the office hours experience, which in my personal experience was one of the richest learning environments available to a student. It was the time when I could get all my questions asked and answered, talk to students about forming study groups, pick up my exams and homeworks, go over questions I missed or didn't understand, and much much more. A lot of the interactions that occur between students and teachers during office hours are usually very natural and spontaneous, and are hard to reproduce.

So the goal in forming E-Office Hours was to mimic and adapt that office hours experience for web, capturing that spontaneity in a meaningful way that students could use in a meaningful way. Hence office hours online, or E-Office Hours. That, and www.eofficehours.com wasn't taken yet! I hope that helps :)
