Abstract
This paper offers an appraisal of commonly
available electronic submission methods and acknowledges
the need to accommodate local factors in the process of
identifying a suitable method. We offer a selection
procedure that enables each educator to evaluate
alternatives, in a manner that accommodates individual
circumstances and subjective weighting of key factors, in
order to arrive at a 'best fit' of submission method to localcontext. This employs a general decision procedure,
similar in approach to conjoint analysis, applicable to any
context in which an individual wishes to choose between a
set of alternative items by subjectively rating their
desirability across any set of criteria. The procedure assists by easing the task of identifying the preferred option. We illustrate the use of this selection procedure for electronic coursework submission methods and present a simple software tool that assists in this process.
