Based on the comments on my previous blogpost, I will not be pursuing my idea. First of all, it does not enrich learning. Also, the amount of time and resources would far surpass our cabablilities.
Instead, here is an idea from an educational website: http://teachpaperless.blogspot.com/
Basically, it talks about letting students hand in papers in their own language, and then using Google Translate so the teacher can mark their work. If the course is intended to improve the writing skills of students, I think they will learn better if they improve their native language skills first.
This would not be effective in English class. However, in all other classes where writing is required, the student would best be able to convey the knowledge they learned through their own language. History, SAP, and other courses similar to these are all places where this tool can be used by students to show their teachers how well they really grasped the concepts in the course.
