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.

If you want to '''protect a range of Sandbox page numbers for a specified number of weeks''', so that your students need not worry about other Proteopedia users changing their pages, please contact {{Template:Contact}} in advance. See [[Help:Sandboxes]] for more information. There is always a safety net: the History tab on each page allows you to revert to an earlier version, even if the entire content was deleted and replaced.

How to '''assess completion of this assignment'''? One method is to require students to take a screenshot of their Sandbox N page, and convey it electronically to their professor (via email, in a Powerpoint presentation .ppt file, via courseware, etc.). If the block of Sandbox page numbers is still reserved, the professor can simply view each page directly. Putting the screenshot in e.g. a Powerpoint presentation has the advantage of making something tangible that the student can keep.
