Dark Side of the iPad ~ Collecting student projects is difficult!

So, what are some of the stumbling blocks?

• One cannot upload a file to a LMS or CMS via a conventional browser upload.
• You cannot drag & drop files so as to save them to other computers, external hard drives or portable flash drives.
• You are not able to export files via a simple drag & drop or automatically sync to networked servers and non-Apple cloud based file storage systems such as DropBox.

This is due to the fact that each app on the iPad manages its own files independently of all the other apps. Files are saved with the app. They are not saved to a system wide directory or folder structure. Transferring files is challenging.
