Professor Collaboration in Student Outlining

What if your professor commented upon your outline, so you would know where you are going wrong before the exam? Professor Steven Friedland of Nova Southeastern University invites his students to post their outlines to the course webpage, where he will comment upon them. (See his post on Best Practices for Legal Education Blog) Students can post outlines anonymously. Prof. Friedland uses Blackboard (Web CT) for his course page, but the same can be accomplished with TWEN or Lexis Course Pages. TWEN, Lexis and WebCT allow access only to students enrolled in the class. Google Docs is another option where access can be restricted to class members.
