Sure, create a custom scale that use half points and rate the forum using that custom scale...
Custom scales no problem but what happens to ratings when you click save my ratings? I rates a number of posts and saved them but they disappeared into the ether. I don't know what I rated and the ratings don't show in the gradebook. Can anyone help please? It is set up for teacher rating only and separate groups.

John,
If we go that route, will the .5 grade show up in the gradebook?
If we go that route, will the .5 grade show up in the gradebook?
Good question; and I am afraid I do not know the answer... Perhaps someone else does?
Yes, it will show in the gradebook as .5, if you set the display type to scale. But the real values of scale items are integers 1-n, n is the number of items. So for instance
| Scale: | 0.5 |
1.0 |
1.5 |
2.0 |
2.5 |
3.0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value: | 1 |
2 |
3 |
4 |
5 |
6 |
Why don't you just double the number of points the forum post is worth? I believe you could also do a multiplier of .5 in the gradebook.
