Re: How do your students turn in assignments electronically?

Garry,

You might want to look at [ http://sourceforge.net/projects/cce-interact
]Interact.
It's an open source platform that has elearning modules. One of the
modules provides a secure tool for teacher/student exchange of school
work. We began using it beginning of this school in conjunction with our
1:1 implementation. We use it for most homework exchange and the
teachers and students are generally pleased with it.
