At first glance this may look
like one of those to do lists. It is however much more powerful,
with all sorts of extra features that make it very useful for staff

Engrade is a suite of tools that
acts as a gradebook for courses, as well as a communication vehicle.
It seems aimed at schools as it allows parents to participate. However
college students and tutors could benefit. Grades and scores can
be weighted and listed by letter or number. Administrators can oversee
educators' classes.

An earnest-looking project by
the good people at Tufts. They ought to know what they're doing
and have added several useful features to a traditional mind-mapping
tool.

Double-clicking works for creation
and editing anywhere. Drag-and-dropping works for reorganising,
marking, map-shot, and adding attachments. Explode your ideas without
any interruption. Write in-line notes and record audio notes in
your meeting minutes. You can even search your topic in Google and
drag images back without leaving the working window.

Mindmaps can help you decide
what topics to study, as well as provide an upfront visual cue of
what you already know and thus don't need to study. Mindomo has
an interface and feature set that rivals even free standalone mindmapping
applications such as Freemind. Maps are shareable but require you
to register and login to save them.

Very new and very, very interesting.
Billed as a project management tool, the nice interface features
a calendar, a place to write tasks and a list of the people in your
team. Dragging items from one place to another produces target end
dates or adds them to others' lists. Substitute assignment for project
and student for solleagues, class for team and you'l get excited
too. Oh, there's also a live chat facility too! Amazing. All on-line.
No download.

An organisation tool, not a grading
tool! Frantically trying to keep on top of homework is a waste of
time. Instead of spending time trying to figure out what homework
to do, let Gradefix do the organizing for you. Simply add your homework
tasks and Gradefix will work them into students' schedules.

Writeboards are shareable, web based
text documents that let you save every edit, roll back any version
and easily compare changes. Use Writeboard to write solo or collaborate
with others, either within your college or wider, or to work with
students on assignments. Writeboards can also link into the BackPack
tasks and to-do organiser site.

Freemind is an open source mind mapping tool that
is very easy to pick up and use, some say. Some heavyweight brains
behind this project. As it is written in Java it will require a
download of the latest Java runtime package.
