The accrediting body for the School of Journalism and Mass Communication requires that independent professionals review student projects in each class. This new requirement presented two logistical challenges. First, the department needed an efficient system for gathering the student projects and securely distributing them to the appropriate reviewers. Second, reviewers needed clear evaluation guidelines on a form that would easily capture their responses and make them available for analysis. In this presentation we will demonstrate how Google Apps can be used to efficiently address all of these needs.
