CourseWork is overly expensive - Editorial, Daily Stanford
The original grant has expired from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation used to fund Stanford’s version of CourseWork, an Internet computer program that posts class assignments online. Maintaining the program in future years could cost as much as $730,000 per year, a high price that has left many questioning the importance of this technology on campus. A number of classes at Stanford depend on the CourseWork system, which many faculty use to post class announcements and links to documents such as syllabi, to organize section assignments and to enter in assignment grades. Since many professors have come to rely on CourseWork, it would be a shame to remove this important tool that professors can use to distribute materials and information regarding their courses.
