Me!

I haven't thought about a good workflow. Some of my students submit
homework by sharing the worksheet with their solutions, which is lame
because they just pop up among all my worksheets... I'm thus +1 with
tags for worksheets or similar solution (I prefer tags).

Maybe some gmail-like filters for incoming worksheets would be cool...
IOW treat the notebook as an inbox, etc. And then why not leverage the
power of email and distribution lists? I'm thinking of:

a) one may want to have worksheet distribution lists, e.g. students
subscribe to a distribution list for the lectures, or for the homework
assignments, etc.
b) homework assignments have submit-to information.
c) students fill in the homework and hit on the "submit" button.
d) I get a stamped copy of the homework filled by the student.
e) [bonus points] modules for randomly cross-exchanging homework
between students (I think moodle does this, so there must be a nice
algorithm or whatnot), etc, etc. I.e. by the deadline, the notebook
shuffles all homework received and resends to students, which now have
to proofread the homework of a different student, etc.
