I use the quiz tool in Blackboard and that generates a spreadsheet
similar to what you'd get with a Google Docs form. However, I still
have to do a lot of manipulation to that spreadsheet once I've got all
the information. The way I set up the survey in BB is to ask each
student to give the name of a teammate, give that teammate's score,
and then write a qualitative evaluation so each of those responses is
a separate column in the resulting spreadsheet. What creates the
headache for me is that students don't enter their teammates in the
same order so I have to do a lot of cutting and pasting to gather
together all the scores and comments for a given student. Since I have
more students than Herb (two classes each with 12-13 teams of 5-6
students), it can be quite time-consuming. Some of the web-based tools
look quite useful but I really don't want to make my students create
yet another account for an external service so I'd be particularly
interested if anyone either has an easier way to use spreadsheets or
knows of tools that can be incorporated into an LMS.
