Students upload the correct assignments..no naming conflicts. Students receive an informational email letting them know what I received and when.
Students can see what they uploaded and also verify the actual file themselves (No excuses now :-) ). I can also comment here. Actual grades are transfered to Blackboard.
On my side, I see all the homework in one fast interface (note: only one tab shown here). Features:
- I can grade quickly and efficiently by viewing the uploaded files directly.
- This tool lets me move files, add assignments and grades.
- I've built in tools to assign varying points with a click of a button.
- It can generate random comments as well insert things like the due date.
- I don't have to jump around and wait for my pages to show up.
- It gives me a bird's eye view of any assignment or a students work.
- It outputs a file I import into Blackboard.
