As the reverse of Project Alexandira, we can create a primitive that writes all the notecards dropped in that primitive to a file on the filesystem path. This is created for the VIBE group in order to allow an easy turn-in of homework written by students. However, it can function as an universal method of providing feedback for the sim owner.

Alternatively, as described on the Project Alexandira page, one can use the cloud-sync DropBox to allow the easy retrieval of homework from students. For brevity, setting-up DropBox cloud sync is described on the Project Alexandira page and omitted here.

• The code expects that COURSEWORK_FOLDER is defined as a folder path (in the code) on the local system and all notecards dropped in the primitive will be created as children of that path.

• The script requires that AllowedCompilers = "lsl,cs" is set in the OpenSim configuration file OpenSim.ini in order to enable C#-LSL scripting. Additionally, the script requires the OSSL functions to be enabled by setting AllowOSFunctions = true in the OpenSim configuration file OpenSim.ini.
