well, the fastest way would probably be to bribe them.
tell them that at the end of the semester, users with N number of significant content submissions will be entered into a drawing, and the prizes will be XYZ.
once you have content and stop bribing them (or, you don't necessarily have to stop), you'll have the content and will no longer have the chicken/egg problem.

- noodle 17y agoits not the only way to make the clock tick, for sure. but i've seen a lot of communities grow using this process, and it is effective and time-efficient. its not easy at all to get users to submit quality content for free.
