[Building Sakai] Alternatives to Grademark

[Brian Jones]

Hello,

We here at Western University are starting to look for alternatives to 
the Grademark product provided by Turnitin, due to privacy and 
information security concerns with using Grademark for our institution.

Before we start planning/developing such a feature, we thought it best 
to gauge the community to see if any other institutions have gone down 
this road. We're looking for an integration with the Assignments tool 
that provides basically the same functionality as the Grademark product 
does. Namely, the ability to mark a student's submission (both inline 
and attachments) online, without the need for the instructor/maintainer 
to download, edit, re-save, and upload again.

If anyone out there knows of any current integration/patches, or if work 
has already been started along this path, please let us know! Perhaps 
there could be some collaboration if necessary.

Cheers,
