Here’s an idea for faculty who teach a course that involves posting or presenting student work.  Instead of having students e-mail you their weekly presentations, questions, or papers, create a wiki in Blackboard or Moodle and have your students upload and edit their own work. This has the added advantage of automatically allowing other students to to read, add to, comment on, and/or constructively criticize the posted work.

It is quick and easy to set up a wiki and then you don’t have to do all the work to collect, transform and then post all the documents for that week.  You can just create a new page for each week and have students upload their work directly to that page.
