Assignment

Hi MN,

I switched to using forums for assignments too because what my students wrote was so interesting it was I shame that only the teacher could read it.

To make grading manageable, I used the Q & A type of forum where each student starts a new discussion to put their assignment and can't see the others before they post. I didn't grade them as they were submitted but on a given date so that I could do them all at once. People submitting after that date were penalised.

I haven't used it, but it is possible to rate forum posts - you have to set up a Scale first. It means though that the students can see each others' grades.

Cheers,
Glenys
