If your learners are in the habit of emailing...

  • essays;

  • slideshows;

  • digital evidence (audio, video and/or photographs) and other creations to their assessors/tutors/trainers etc., you will know how quickly inboxes can get crowded.

One way to address that problem is to get all of the learners using Google Docs. But if Google Docs isn't an option for your learners because of organisational policy; (yes, some learning providers discourage the use of Google Docs) or other issues,
Drop.io offers a solution you might want to explore.

Drop.io offers a simple upload widget that can be embedded into course blogs or course websites etc.

Place the Drop.io upload widget into the blog/VLE/Website etc., and learners can upload their work directly to you. Learners' work can then be viewed on the Drop.io page; keeping email inboxes clutter free. To help you get started take a look at http://docs.google.com/present/view?id=df6bwk2v_407wz4vk4c6.
