Subject: RE: [teknoids] drop box with anonymous student submittals?

A professor recently came to me with a request to find a way his students could submit papers online anonymously. In my digging, I found it very hard to find a service that was truly anonymous. For most file sharing services, users had to send invites to others to allow them to upload files or share files, or their upload could easily be traced back to a username or computer. Blackboard dropbox didn’t work for the process we needed and for other services, it was easy to see who originated a file.

I came up with a solution for true anonymity using http://drop.io. You can see a copy of the instructions I created here: http://www.unc.edu/~eadair/anonymouspapersubmissions.pdf

Is anyone aware of a commercial, open source or online solution suitable for anonymous, electronic document/class assignment submittals by law students? If not, how do you handle this need? I’ve done some searching, and have seen a number of hosted solutions, though not specifically for the law school market. I think we would probably avoid externally hosted services, for various reasons.

Thanks,
