Pull/push student assignment files from computer lab computers (Windows 7)
- by mkstreet
I have a computer lab with about 35 PC's all running Windows 7.
The students do their work and save it on the D-drive in a particular folder such as a folder with the same name as the computer's name (e.g. LABPC001).
I'd like a centralized way to pull all these folders in to the teacher's computer in the lab to check the assignments. It would be best if this didn't involve using an external website (e.g. Dropbox).
I would also like to be able to distribute (send) files to the students in these same folders.
I've seen software applications that do this but they cost about US$1000 which is far beyond our means.
Suggestions for free, or almost free, best ways to set this up?
