How is your use of the technology innovative or different?

I encourage cooperation between students for both their exams and their research projects. I feel that this is much more in keeping with the academic tradition, where none of us operate in a vacuum, but are constantly aided by the input and collaboration of our colleagues. In having students post their research progress online, they aid one another in the completion of projects, but also learn that one’s colleagues can also be great resources. Also, in administering essay-type exams online, it encourages students to prepare for these by organizing and reviewing their class notes and course readings, and also by consulting with their classmates and learning to use these classmates as resources.
