Hi Alex,
I have tried doing RATs, both individual and team, online using Moodle as our LMS. It is possible to setup quizzes in Moodle so that students are able to attempt a question a 2nd and third time for reduced credit. However, in Moodle I could only setup the quiz such that the value of a correct answer was reduced 33% with each subsequent attempt (i.e. correct on 1st attempt = 100%, correct on 2nd attempt = 66%, correct on 3rd attempt = 33%). I could not get it to give marks 100%, 50% and 25% similar to the IF AT cards. But I am not sure that should matter too much.
I am sure that the quizzing function in Blackboard must have a similar feature. In Moodle, this feature of reduced mark for each subsequent attempt is called "adaptive mode".
As an instructor, I really appreciated the immediate feedback to me with the quiz analysis feature in Moodle that helped me to tailor subsequent mini-lectures to students' needs. However, I found that students found the process finikcy (our WiFi capability in-class did not have sufficient capacity for the required number of simultaneous users) and therefore stressful, and that they really did prefer the tactile feel of the scratch cards and gathering around as a team as the chosen answer is revealed to be correct or incorrect. However, these are likely non-issues for your course if you are doing it completely online and not in-class. I was trying to use online quizzes for in-class RATs. I might attempt it again in the future if the technology becomes more robust.
