In my humble experience the last thing arts academics want to do is contact students – seem to remember tracking ‘em down in the pub mostly. I guess that there were proper grown up lecturers at the seminar you attended :)

As for IM, multi-system clients like GAIM/PIDGIN could give staff the chance to communicate (while logging for security) to relay results etc. Perhaps it is time for things like Marratech to become the norm for replacing those tutorials… you can then join in from the bed rather than having to get up on a cold morning for a rush across the quadrangle :-)
