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.

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 -- Larry K.

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 _________________________________________________ Jim Sibley Manager Centre for Instructional Support Faculty of Applied Science University of British Columbia 2208- 6250 Applied Science Lane Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 1Z4 Phone 604.822.9241 Fax 604.822.7006 Email: [log in to unmask] Web: www.learning.apsc.ubc.ca <http://www.learning.apsc.ubc.ca/> Blog: Adventures in Instructional Support: http://ipeer.apsc.ubc.ca/wordpress/ e- Portfolio: http://ipeer.apsc.ubc.ca/wiki/index.php/Jim_Sibley_Portfolio ________________________________________________ (c) Copyright 2007, Jim Sibley, All rights reserved The information contained in this e- mail message and any attachments (collectively "message") is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the recipient (or recipients) named above.
