Collaborative Online Learning
How to encourage participation? A 10% overall carry marks?
Rubric: Focusing on meaningful participation – not just adding entry
Frequency: Once a week is practical – in reality more frequent participation would put the student in a much better position to make timely and meaningful contributions?
- at least 3 meaningful post/week or per online lecture/tutorial would be an A, 2 meaningful posts would be a B, and 1 would be a C.
- simply posting a short “me too” comment is not considered a “meaningful” post and will not support a strong grade for the week/lecture/tutorial.
