@nickmofo I’m also thinking of requiring that students have versioning on so I can see essays develop over time. I know GDoc has versioning, but does Word or Pages?

This is a fascinating idea for a few reasons. It is typical when you have pixel art entries in the #demoscene to show work in progress. It also seems like this peek into writing process could have pedagogical value.

@nickmofo I have students do some assignments on HackMD, which has versioning, which occasionally reveals academic misconduct
