Password is student ID, or actually now we have LDAP auth working so it's their usual one. WW is installed locally on our own server so no TOU to worry about, unless they try to violate the GPL I guess :) This is pretty standard across campuses nationwide. I don't know how the MAA's hosted servers work but probably very similar. > > >> > That seems to be an extra step that will be annoying - especially if >> they don't use the canonical email address. >> >> Does SMC support multiple sections with the same assignment easily like >> WW does?

Hmm, in that case it would probably be very useful to implement a "section" functionality, even one where you could have different "graders" for different sections. Or at the least a database field for section. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.
