We have done those options (wireless access in the room, plus school
computer per group, permit web access, permit paper and electronic
submissions), plus:
We have them add a statement that they verify that the submission was
done by the group (an honor code issue). And we give them till 5pm the
next day - a bit longer to submit; although 99% are submitted that day
due to the need to move on to the next topic. They generally work on it
after the session while it is fresh in their minds.
On a similar note - a questions about appeals and regular exams. We
have found the value of the IRA-GRA process so powerful that just about
anytime they have an exam we let the groups go through the questions in
a GRA format (not for points, but for learning). This leads to exam
question appeals too. It helps us understand which questions were
confusing and ambiguous, but not sure about giving extra points after
the exam based on the appeals. Has anyone tried that? How do you score
them?

I think I'd try to use technology in some way. Possibilities:
1) If they have access to the web in class (wireless?) let them look up
whatever they want.
2) If each of the teams can get access to at least 1 laptop (I've see a
situation in which laptop access was one of the team selection criteria
so that each team would have laptop access), Create a CD of the required
readings.
Either way, I'd have them submit the appeal via e-mail.

Hi
Seeking advice
I am doing a sustainability course TBL.
There is some inclass unhappiness with the Appeal process...since it
favours teams that have a hardcopy of the readings
The issue is that most of the students do the readings on the web and
don't print out hard copy....therefore it is difficult for them to
appeal ambiguity in readings...since they don't have a hard copy
A few possible solutions I have considered
1. Allow online submission of Appeal by days end....trouble is that I
can't ensure that it comes from a teams and not an individual
2. Allow paper submission by days end......could be signed by all
members?....could have same issue of individual vs. team
3. Print one hardcopy for each team (not desirable in a Sustainability
course)
Any other ideas.....advice welcomed
