Hello all,
We are considering setting up user accounts for each student here at
Madison. I can foresee some possible issues with using student accounts
(password woes, etc) and I would like any input that you have. Are any of
you at schools where individual student accounts are used? If so, how has
this worked for you? What are the issues and/or solutions you've found?
Right now we use accounts by room #. A student logs on to the account for
that room with a blank password. Teachers then set up period folders within
the home folder for that account. Students typically set up a folder for
themselves within the period folder. This has worked for us for a year now
but we've run into a couple situations where a student accidentally modified
or erased the work of another student.
Thank you in advance!
