>In the case of a professor, you have four types of assignments that can be turned in. Textual, oral, presentation, and data. Most classes don't use oral or presentation assignments, and that is why I have little respect for professors who won't take assignments electronically. Every college worth going to has a computer network now, and it doesn't take an awful lot of effort to set up a script where students can submit textual assignments through an online form (I took my class assignments this way from students who missed classes). For data assignments, you set up an SCP service, or have someone who knows how set it up for you (though if you're assigning projects that require data, you really should have the tech savy to set it up yourself.)

The major problem I have with electronic submition of homework or tests 
is that it often doesn't allow the student to keep a hardcopy to check 
for errors or keep for reference. Not long ago one of the schools 
Jennifer goes to screwed her over because she has to take the tests over 
the Internet. I watched her click the right answer and click the save 
button that is supposed to save what she had selected.. then when she 
finished the test she submitted the entire test.. then it came back and 
said she missed that question but said she'd chosen a different answer. 
There was no way to have checked to make sure the program had recorded 
the right data and no way to prove what she'd chosen so she was stuck 
with the less than perfect score. Stuff like that happens a lot.
