alice-teacher grading work

[Deane Fistick]

I'm not sure if this relates to your situation or not.

I teach for an on-line school and often give my students "starter files" which they are to complete for an assignment.  Depending on their computer and/or browser, sometimes these files get downloaded as compressed. When my students (or I) receive a compressed Alice file, I have them NOT extract it (it makes a mess when they double click to open it). Open Alice first, then go to File -> Open World -> go to the file. Alice extracts the file automatically. I tell them this process is "going in the back door".

I am not familiar with Schoology, but I am guessing that it recognizes that a .a2w file is actually a compressed file (similar to a .zip), and is trying to do an automatic expansion.

One solution, though slightly tedious, would be to have your students put their project in a folder, zip up that folder, and then submit the zipped folder. An advantage to this is that you could also have them submit some form of documentation about their project that wold be included in the folder.

Other members of the community may have better suggestions.

All the best,

I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

We are using the Schoology platform for student work.  When students finish their work in Alice I am having them submit their .a2w file.  Is there a better way to check their work?

I am having trouble getting the submitted file from Schoology back into Alice to watch it Run.

Thanks!
