Absolutely,
I've got 11 K12ltsp clients running in my room (all donated! all free! easy to set up!) so the ratio is about 3 to 1 for my large classes and almost 1-1 for smaller classes. That said, I don't want to be the one doing all of the 'educating' and 'teaching'. In class today, I had my students trying to craft questions that were clear, fair, concise and insightful... they all complained that it was 'too hard'!
But, it got them thinking about learning and the subject material and how important logical constructions are to helping people understand.
Ok, so why all of this explanation? I want my brighter students to take a more active role in the course materials, quizzes, feedback structures, and organization of data....
Moodle doesn't seem to have a TA mode... unless I missed something ? A TA mode that could be as granular as allowing one student access to one object or all students having access... This of course begs the question of user activity needing a
CVS backend (subversion?) to all changes in the db and the site so that blame and reward points can be properly delivered.
Thoughts? Criticims? Whispers of code in progress?
