I was trying to think how I would use it for evaluation of student performance over a term as many of the categories are asking about individual posts while others are asking about general performance. I think I would need a check mark system and for the comments in the categories to become headings leaving me with space to work in the template. Then I would have a sheet for each student and check in each box while I read. Trouble is that when reading a thread with multiple entries by multiple students this system would be cumbersome, with flicking back and forth among forms taking my attention away from the content of the discussion and my ability to give clear feedback to students' individual responses. Nevertheless, I think the categories and levels are useful ways to think about online contribution and interaction indicators. Thanks for contributing this very thorough evaluation tool.

I had never heard of SOLO. Just a thought to simplify the file names but I have copied them. Terrific, thanks Adele.

I like this template, but I think it's also a lot of work to use it.
I can imagine to use it if a thread goes over 4 weeks and contains intense discussion threads.

This would be a useful way of getting students to colloborate, has anyone tried this method?
