Convenient commenting, scoring, grade curving, and posting is also implemented. Data representations are captured as images, uploaded to the student's image library (in EarthEd) and then can be edited and linked to the writing assignment text.

Access to earth data is integrated within the EarthEd software through the "Our Dynamic Planet" CDROM, Global Ocean Data Viewer, and links to other data browsers available on the web. The course activities are managed by the "EarthEd" software package, which supports course management functions such as online writing and peer review, image storage and upload, auto-graded homework problems, and course grade computation. The topics address plate tectonics, the Indian monsoon, the Earth's climate, and the world fisheries. The assignments require students to acquire and plot data and use these data plots to create scientific arguments in support of a theory.
The assignments evolved, over a period of 10 years, from papers handed in to the instructor, to online peer reviewed assignments using the calibrated peer review methodology. Writing assignments were introduced to a large introductory Oceanography class at UCSB.
