[Using Sakai] Digital dropbox for virtual writing help

[Diana Perpich]

Not in My Workspace, but I have worked on a related project.

Create a joinable site. I recommend an auto-join link at the Writing Center website.

Limit the number of tools you turn on, maybe start with just Home and Assignments.  

Create one assignment called something like Drop Off Paper For Review.  Set the due date to the end of the semester.  I’d select “Single file upload” so that you don’t end up with students submitting a half dozen at a time; but I can also imagine selecting “Inline and Attachment” so that they can give you a little context.  Of course, “No Grade” seems appropriate.

Set the assignment up so that the instructor/writing center staff are notified when someone submits.  The writing center staff can then review the submission, make comments, and ultimately allow resubmission in case the student wants her next assignment reviewed as well.

You could have a number of Assignments listed to maybe filter student’s work into buckets:

English 101-125 Essays to Review
Chemistry, Biology, or Physics Essays to Review
Etc.

At UD, we have an on-campus center where students can come and receive writing help.  We would like to extend that service to our online learners.  Ideally, we would like to create a tool that lives in the My Workspace menu where students could digitally drop-off their papers and the writing consultant could deliver feedback to them.  We do not want the students to have to join a site to do this.  Obviously, we would not want others (besides these two parties) to have permission to view the files or the feedback.  Has anyone accomplished something similar?
