ECAssignmentBox is a Plone product which allows the creation,
submission and grading of online assignments (exercises, homework),
both for traditional on-site courses and for e-learning.

ECAssignmentBox is licensed under the GPL and is freely available
from:

The basic idea is that teachers create assignment boxes into which
students submit their answers or solutions.  The student submissions
are then put through a number of workflow states, typically submitted,
accepted and graded.  The teacher can view the submissions, assign a
grade and add feedback.  The assignment workflow is designed to
accommodate different processes.

Assignment boxes can be grouped together using ECFolders, which
provide specialized view templates and statistics for the assignments
they contain.  ECFolders can be nested.  You can use them to
represent, for example, courses and weekly worksheets.
