Tool Description
Gorp (Gallery, Organizer, and Repository of Projects) is an online-tool for capturing student projects on the topic of learning technology design. It is designed support sharing, grading, external review, and simple version tracking. Each project can be described using fields specific to learning technology design such as "expected learning outcomes". These fields were carefully selected to surface important design issues that students too often minimize. Instructors can add their course to GORP and completely customize the categories and fields they need for their teaching.

Why is this an important tool?
Every year students spend countless hours refining wonderful projects, but too often these are seen by few people beyond the course staff. Gorp aims to centralize the collection of student projects and provide archival and reviewing services, so that projects can be compared, contrasted and commented on.

GORP is great to collect games. We had students create classic games with AgentSheets every week. They uploaded an thumbnail, the applet, the source and design descriptions. Other student could quickly browse games, play with them and peek under the covers. This was an important social learning tool.
