Essign is a Web application that allows teachers to post homework assignments and relevant course materials for students to access.

Why use Essign at my school?

Prepare students for college. Most institutions of higher learning have an online assignment management system. Help prepare your students for the university environment.	No more "hacky" alternatives. Free your school from less effective homework systems, such as phone hotlines that are difficult to keep up-to-date. Teachers paying for individual homework Web sites can now use this school-wide solution.
It encourages teacher collaboration. Essign is an open environment, so all teachers can see each others' assignments to get an idea of students' workloads and prevent homework "pile-ups".

What are some resources teachers can post on Essign?

Assignments. Homework assignments are the bread and butter of Essign. Homework, projects, and exams are all fair game here. Assignments can even be planned in advance.	Questions. Inquiring students want to know! They can ask questions about individual assignments, and the teachers' answer is then shared with all students to keep everyone in the loop.
Bulletins. Keep parents and students informed on class news and policies.	Attachments. Attach files to specific assignments, bulletins, or even for an entire course. Important files such as rubrics and worksheets are only a click away.
Links. Provide links to online resources such as supplementary materials and news sources.
