Turning in Student Work in the Classroom

[Anonymous]

I am a High School teacher and I use Inventor in 4 of my classes that I teach.  I was wondering if any other teachers are able to chime in as to a good way for students to turn in files to me for grading, everything from single part files to assemblies including sub-assemblies, part files, drawings, etc.  Currently i'm using Google Classroom, where I can post an assignment and students can turn in files to me through there, they are then put into a Google Drive folder where I can access them.  This works to an extent, but as assignments get more and more files associated with them such as assemblies a single assignment folder can become in excess 350 different files, and Google just dumps all student work into one folder, making it take forever to sort through, download and grade.

TL;DR... I'm currently use Google Drive for students to turn in work, but am looking for a simpler solution for students to turn in work...any suggestions.

I create folders for each class on https://myhub.autodesk360.com

In each folder I create a sub-folder with student name.

I might also create a project folder within each student's folder, for example Week 1, Week 2...

The only problem is that all the students have access to each other's work.
I encourage my students to take a look at their classmate's work and try to do better as a competition.

But you must lay down the law about cheating right up front.

Hi Teachers,

If you need help find a cheater, we have techniques to identify suspects. Let me know if you want to know more (johnson.shiue@autodesk.com).

Hi Students.

Please don't cheat. Learning to use Inventor Professional is fun. It may help you find a job. But, it will definitely help you in a long run. Most mechanical CAD programs work fairly similarly. Once you pick up Inventor, you can learn others fairly quickly.

Many thanks!

Hi Martin,

Many thanks for your reply! I will send you an email and share the technique. I need to make sure you are an educator first.

Thanks again!
