I've seen a few presentations about Assignment Calculator and Research Project Calculator over the past few years. It's a neat project the UofM has created and disseminated Open Source.
From my perspective, it's really the instructors who need to get on board with the tool first. We need them to encourage student use, just like we need them to encourage students to use library books and databases rather than only the open web.
The time management aspect of this is key. Students need to see how they can plan things out and not have a crunch time at the end before their paper is due. It would be wonderful if students came to higher ed with that understanding :)
