Semantic+email

= Semantic Email = ==The purpose of semantic email is to make emails that people and computers can understand. This involves the user relying on a service to consolidate information. There are email processes available to RSVP and meeting coordination, for example. The user will use these processes to send out emails to a group of people to find out information. The responses will then be sorted through by a computer, to provide the original user with an answer. Therefore, the user could send an email to a group to ask what time they could meet, and through semantic email, the groups responses would be analyzed to find a time that is convenient for everyone. That time would then be sent back to the original user, thus saving time by preventing them from having to coordinate schedules.==

====The general function of Semantic Email has been explained above. As educators we can extract ways to integrate Semantic Emails from existing ideas. Since Semantic emails involve storing information in a database that can be retrieved, a teacher can use Semantic Email to set up online assessments. Teachers to email students information about upcoming tests that are automatically stored in that students class calendar. Reminders can be sent about deadlines and students would be able to submit answers via email that are automatically graded. There results could then be emailed to them, even with detailed explanations of missed questions. Teachers would be able to generate reports about class and student performance based on user submissions. With the integration of Natural Language Semantics, emails can easily be converted to audio files that students can listen to, and students would be able to submit replies through voice as well. Students would be able to record lectures that are automatically emailed and updated to a wiki to store content.====
