Hi all. Greg is correct. It is not legal to display the names. You
can see an example of the form I use for the folders on page 264 of the
paperback version of the book. As you'll see there, the names are
folded under so the scores are visible only by an I'd number. I
typically use the last 4 digits of their ID and tell them to change it
if they want--which 1 in 2 or 3 hundred do-- but let me know if they
make a change. That way, the scores are sort of public within the group
(some actually write in the names), but the letter of the law remains
unbroken. In over 1,500 groups, I've never had any kind of a
complaint.

Hey Michael --
I've wondered about this as well. My understanding--admittedly
limited-- is that this sort of information is pretty tightly
restricted
by FERPA regulations, or at least it's supposed to be.

Subject: [TEAMLEARNING-L] Should teams know each members individual
scores?
Hi Everyone,
The Michaelsen, Knight & Fink book recommends that individual RAT
scores
be included in the team folder, so that team members know how their
fellow members are doing in the course.
Does this mean that the identities of the members are known, or are
the
individual scores only shown by ID, so the identity of members
actually
remains anonymous within the group?
Are there sufficient advantages to not keeping individual scores
private
(among the team) to warrant this partial lack of privacy?
Should one give class members the option of remaining anonymous, even
within their teams?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Michael
