You can post your assignments for the course on-line throughout the semester, especially writing assignments. You can also require students to send you their papers as attachments to e-mail messages.
Advantages:
- Your department will save on xeroxing expenses for traditional assignments.
- If the assignments are available only on your class web site, students will be forced to work with the technology.
- Assignments can be creative in requiring students to look at various Web sites and other on-line resources and learn more about your field.
- Requiring that students send papers as e-mail attachments will teach them a skill they will no doubt find priceless in future courses and employment.
- You might find that you need to write entirely new assignments each time you offer the course, as everyone with access to the Web (including the fraternities and sororities) now has access to your course materials.
- You need to allow plenty of lead time in case there is a problem with the technology - e.g., if your campus server off-line for any reason. (It has been off-line for as long as 48 hours at CSULB). Warn students to start working on assignments early and not wait until the last minute.
- Hyperlinks you set up to other sites for the assignment can go off-line just as unpredictably. You will need to check to see that everything students need to do the assignment remains available while they're working on it.
- You will need to train your students on e-mail attachments, either in the lab or with an on-line set of instructions.
