Instructify

Filesharing via the Internet can provide huge benefits in an academic environment. While the idea of “mass collaboration” might sound scary to administrators — like it could possibly violate every kind of honor code rule in the book — the ability to share class notes, study guides and other class materials can prove beneficial to students and teachers alike.

Since many schools do not already use an Internet-based classroom environment (such as Blackboard ), GradeGenie provides a free and easy way to share useful class materials with students and classmates, by letting both faculty members and students upload non-copyrighted class handouts as well as their own notes and make them available for other students to download. Users can search for information by selecting the school and the course, but can also search by instructor or topic.

With the site, GradeGenie seeks to help students obtain materials that will help them succeed in the course. And while it may not provide your students with the magic they may need to pass your class (as the name might suggest), it will help them wield the power of “mass collaboration.” — LAUREN FROHNE
