After a short trial period, Syracuse University has made the site available to all professors, the Daily Orange reports. While some Luddites cringe at allowing a computer to police the student population, many more educators see great potential. "I don't look at it as Big Brother," says one professor. "I look at it as a big sister that can help you." September 20, 2007 ENGLISH Web Publication Copyright 2007 U.S. News & World Report All Rights Reserved
