Customising folders - letting the students do it
Tools: Individual folder and Hand in.
This is a real time saver! When creating folders for group work,
the teacher can easily leave most of the customizing process to the
students.
Work space: Within a resource folder, create a folder
for the students and tick the check box for "Individual folders".
One folder for each student is generated
automatically.
The students themselves can - by clicking "Edit
properties" and further "Customise access" check from the
participants list who should have access to the folder, and also
change the folder's name. (The original student will still be the
owner, but all can access, read, upload and
contribute.)
Hand-in: If all groups have the same dead-line, create
only one hand-in. When group work is to be submitted, it is
sufficient for one of the students in the group to submit the
document or file.
There is an option to click for "Customize owners" and then for
"Group hand-in". The student checks for names of the
participants.
The teacher can now comment and grade as usual. It is
sufficient with one comment / grade. It will still be displayed
individually for each student in Hand-in and Portfolio, as will the
files / documents.
