Just a few sentences elaborating on what Michael Sweet's research suggested would have helped support your assertion. Not every post can be researched for hours, but at the very least, my initial post will have many hours of research behind it. BTW, it took me several weeks to realize this; prior to that, I was getting very low scores as well. It's a learning process.

excellent 4 point post! Well done, Teresa! Exellent self and peer assessment as well.

One of our colleagues in this program, Rebecca Grodner, is an English teacher at this school. I was fascinated when she mentioned that the school's philosophy was to reframe failure as iteration. I have made that my personal instructional mantra. She developed the Design Inquiry Cycle and shared this tool for inquiry-based learning in the UAlbany Knilt Wiki. This is the link, http://tccl.rit.albany.edu/knilt/index.php/Lesson_3:_The_Design_Inquiry_Cycle. I plan on using and adaptation of this model in my course's writing module.

"Assessment for online is underpinned by the same principles of validity, reliability, flexibility and fairness, and uses many of the same strategies used in traditional face-to-face teaching (Booth, Clayton, Hyde, Hartcher & Hungar 2002). What differs mostly is the context of the assessment, the interactions between assessor and those being assessed, and collection and administration processes."
