I would recommend you start off with an assignment mapping their

I have one question – how is the best way for me to check that
they have completed this assignment every week? Should I have
them copy and paste their history on to a Word Document? Is there

If you get their OSM username you can then view their contributions
for the last week and check their changesets. Tools like achavi
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nrenner.github.io/achavi/">http://nrenner.github.io/achavi/</a>) can be used to visualize a
changeset and hdyc (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hdyc.neis-one.org/">http://hdyc.neis-one.org/</a>) can be used to look a
users total contributions.<br>
