Thanks to all who have responded to this thread. I hope to check out some of the solutions you suggested this summer when I have some time. I'm finishing the first school year in a one-to-one program using DyKnow and am amazed at how versatile the panel submit and return process is. Just about any assignment can be converted to a DyKnow panel. It's light years ahead of what a typical LMS can do.

Thank you so much for the info about Yacapaca. I checked it out and plan to use it. I'm new to Classroom 2.0, and I'm finding this a great resource.

I've used PBwiki for this because I can track the students' efforts, revisions, and general writing process. After I am finished grading the papers, the students are able to correct the suggestions I've given them. PBwiki appears to be the easiest wiki platform for setting up users without having to worry about student e-mails. The wiki platform also creates a universal platform on which all of my students will have the opportunity to produce their writing.

Kevin,<br />

Hope all is well. I wanted to share with you that this process is one of the changes that has already been released through Project NG. If you haven't had a chance to play around with NG yet, I would be happy to set up a demo account so that you can check out this new feature as well as some of our other changes. Drop me a line if you are interested.

If you are just asking students to respond to an essay title, there is an amazing range of options available. But what if you want to set a more complex assignment, for example asking the students to respond in a structured way to several questions, or even to images or videos? <a href="http://screencast.com/t/6uJYceDYc">Here's a screencast</a> I made last week of me creating a rich media assignment in <a href="http://yacapaca.com/">Yacapaca</a>.

It is possible in Moodle to create an "Online Text Assignment". Students can submit their assignments by typing them directly into Moodle, or by copying and pasting from a word processor. When creating the Online Text Assignment, you might want to have the "Inline Comments" option checked.

I use Wetpaint. Students can type their essays directly into the wiki, which is a positive for us, as many of my students haven't got reliable access to technology, so this allows them to work a bit at a time. I set a "window" of time, during which other students can edit/comment on/review the work. After that window closes, I mark the assignment, taking into account the changes made over the life of the document, as well as the final product. The document remains posted, though, so students…

For the past year I have been using Zoho Writer, part of the FREE Zoho suite of Web 2.0 applications.<br />
<br />
First day of class, every student opens a Zoho account. I give them my Zoho account name. They make a document with this info on it and save it for future reference.<br />
<br />
Then I ask them to write me a short letter and to share it with me. I see it in my list of shared docs. I open it, make a few comments and share it back.<br />

<br />
Once we have that system perfected, that's how they submit all work to me for the rest of the year. I can ask to see drafts and respond to them quickly. I also use a bank of stock comments for common mistakes and drop these in with a neat program for the Mac called TypeIt4Me. Been around for years and there are several worthy imitators.<br />
<br />
Students can also peer review or do group projects quite easily.<br />
<br />
I might also add that Zoho Show--their version of PowerPoint--also makes a nifty tool for in class presentations. If they share with me, then all I have to do is open up their file and let them have a go with it. Much easier than the time consuming process of working on the network to locate a file and opening it. Or worse, trying to email ppt files--a nightmare!<br />
<br />
Again, the share feature makes team work and collaboration a cinch.<br />
<br />
I hope every teacher gives Zoho a serious look. Google docs is also very capable. I especially like Google Notebook for web research.

Turns out we are doing Dyknow after all. That will partially solve our problem. Dyknow allows you to submit and return panels easily. It also has a method to send files to students, but know way to receive files from students and grade and return files.
