You could however customise a user role for this via the user Privileges
section in the admin control panel to disallow students with the course
builder (or new custom role) certain functions i.e. enrolling other
students into their sites. This would only be possible on Enterprise
though.

Course builder rights would allow students to give each other rights in
each other's modules.
It would be better to use the groups function in a single module. I.e.
set up a closed group for each student to upload files then they don't
have to have any extra rights.

Subject: Using CourseSites for Student E-Portfolios
One of our education lecturers has had a bright idea. He says:
"I am raising with the education team the use of e-portfolios for our
students. The most effective way of utilising this type of development
and assessment is with Blackboard. That is each individual student would
have 'Course Builder' rights to a module * which would contain the
variety of their e-artefacts, assessments, and reflections etc. In this
sense the Blackboard module acts as the e-framework for their portfolio.
This would therefore require that we create a sequence of 'modules' for
each student, with one or more staff members as the instructor."
In a second email responding to my request for more information re
numbers and lifespan, he says:
"We have an intake of about 80 students per year on the BA , so for this
course it would be 240 by 2007. The module for each student would
remain live during the three years of their course, with perhaps a short
run-over at the end."
Now, in principle, this probably looks like a good-ish idea. But it
makes me uneasy. Yup, there'll be some extra work, but I can't really
say no on that basis. What have I missed?
