Preliminary set up of blank classlist[edit | edit source]
I began this course by setting up a spreadsheet with reading assignments that may or may not be assigned on the first day.
Mock with socks: Why planets lose their atmosopheres[edit | edit source]
- In this experimental effort to test the system, the 3 socks (Moe, Larry, Curley) of Guy vandegrift attempted to upgrade Why planets lose their atmospheres. The experiment was a partial success:
- Explanations were added to this very difficult quiz.
- It was apparent from the contributions which sock was working the most.
But it also became apparent that any sort of grade assessment using this method was unworkable. It is important that students log their efforts using links to where they have edited. In my next iteration, I will arrange for students to record their efforts in their own subpages.
