One strategy is to '''assign a number to each student'''. For example, if a student is assigned number 17, that student uses the page titled [[Sandbox 17]]. A student assigned number N should enter ''Sandbox N'' in the search slot at the upper left of any Proteopedia page, and click on Go. If the page does not exist, there will be a red link on the resulting page. Clicking on the red link will create the page, which can then be edited. | One strategy is to '''assign a number to each student'''.

Proteopedia provides a mechanism called ''Studios'' for supervised student collaborations. Each Studio has a landlord (who could be a professor, instructor, TA, etc.) and a number of tenants (students). Studios are designed for private development, so they are not readable by the public. If a completed Studio project has sufficient quality, it can be converted to a permanent page.

Professor Oberholser reported "I think that Emily's work on Photosystem II shows that Proteopedia is a system that a Jmol novice can use with good effect. Emily had no experience with using Jmol. The other students in the class ... [made] PowerPoint presentations of their chosen proteins, and after seeing Emily's Proteopedia presentation one student's response was all of us should have used Proteopedia. Thank you for a great product!" | Professor Oberholser reported "I think that Emily's work on Photosystem II shows that Proteopedia is a system that a Jmol novice can use with good effect.

Another strategy for a small, upper level class is to have individuals or small groups author pages that address a particular topic. [[User:Ann Taylor|Ann Taylor]] has used this at Wabash College to create pages on [[Glycolysis Enzymes]], [[Citric Acid Cycle]] | Another strategy for a small, upper level class is to have individuals or small groups author pages that address a particular topic.

Any student planning to author a permanent page should request a personal user account in their own real name, identifying themselves as a student, and their college. See, for example, [[User:Emily Forschler|Emily Forschler]]. | Any student planning to author a permanent page should request a personal user account in their own real name, identifying themselves as a student, and their college.
