While we are on the topic of violence, someone passed on to me an interesting website:
http://www.abanet.org/domviol/internet.html
At this website, one can find out about safety precautions that an individual living with an abusive partner may want to know about regarding emails and internet utilization.
For example, one paragraph states:
"If an abuser has access to your email account, he or she may be able to read your incoming and outgoing mail. If you believe your account is secure, make sure you choose a password he or she will not be able to guess. If an abuser sends you threatening or harassing email messages, they may be printed and saved as evidence of this abuse. Additionally, the messages may constitute a federal offense. For more information on this issue, contact your local United States Attorney's Office."
This type of information may be useful to some of your learners and instructors.  In fact, it may be a good idea to post this type of information in computer labs.
