If you are using a course management system with discussion forums
available to support the course, you could try creating an Appeals forum
to assist you with this. Team members could then return to the readings
online sometime soon after class (but asynchronously since it is outside
of class time) and post their points for the team appeal. You could give
teams a deadline for appeals, such as a day or two after the class,
depending on how often the class meets.
If you use the online forum, they can review the readings, continue the
discussion, craft their appeal, and submit it in the CMS. An advantage
is that you can view their discussion to see that enough members
participated so you don't have to get signatures.

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
