Hi, We have our own in-house system written in .NET. It's a fairly mature system that's been in place for nearly 3 academic years, and is in use by almost all departments. Basically the department can set assignments (providing assignment notes, deadline, etc) on a per-course basis. When the student next logs in to the student portal (again, written in-house) they see that they have an assignment due for the course, and follow a link to the assignment details page (notes, deadline, etc). The student has to accept a short plagiarism statement before they can upload/submit files. Finally, the department is able to view reports which show when each student submitted, and also download a zip-file of the students' submissions. We don't have any tie-in to our coursework marks database yet, however this is one of the improvements we are looking at. As a side-note, the system allows the student to print a hardcopy (with a watermark on each page, which dissuades plagiarism). This can then be submitted to the department, if the department prefers hardcopy submission (which some still do!).

Dear all, I need to get a quick overview of how other institutions tackle student electronic submission of assignments and project work. If you have moved to some form of e-submission do you use tools bundled with your VLE, perhaps something like Turnitin, have you developed a tool in house or left it up to departments and faculties to develop their own systems? Any and all information gratefully received:-) bw Hilary ---------------------- Hilary Griffiths Education Support Unit University of Bristol [log in to unmask] 0117 9287057 ***************** List information: ***************** Remember - replies go by default to the entire list.
