If the students can have access to "My Yahoo", there is a "briefcase"
available where they can upload files from one internet connected
computer, and access them from any other. They would have to set up a
page, then sign in, and sign out when they go to do the uploading since
they need a password to access their own file and if they uploaded it
to the wrong briefcase, they couldn't get it back later, but that
should not be too hard to arrange. They can upload any type of file,
text or graphic, and I'm not sure about things such as power points or
quicktimes. Still, it might be a solution for you.
Since several of you asked the same question, I felt a general posting
was appropriate, since others may be in a similar situation.
