MAILING LISTS

Jim,
What Larry suggests is exactly what I am doing this semester. Each team
has one laptop provided by our computer lab. Using the course's website
discussion board they post their work and review that of others. They
seem to like the use of laptops based on their responses on a one-minute
paper.

Today I'm trying Synchroneyes, a software package that allows the
teacher to control and communicate with individual laptops and
facilitate file exchanges. We'll see how that works. They could work up
the appeal and send it straight to you before end of class.

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.

Larry

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
