Tina, the TA
Tina has been a TA for two years, and she currently uses a number of websites and online tools to communicate with her students. She is not satisfied with the current way of entering this information, which sometimes involves editing HTML files on her computer and uploading them using FTP. As a student, she uses Google Calendar to organize her assignments. At the beginning of a term, she schedules all her test dates in a personal calendar. As a TA, one of her concerns is getting the word out when a change is made to an assignment. Tina believes that a collaborative organizer would benefit her more as a student than as a TA, but she also thinks that such tool should support the specific needs of TAs and instructors. She is particularly interested in collecting assignments statistics, such as difficulty and time to completion. She believes the collaborative nature of the tool would not make it less reliable, especially if moderated by the TAs.
