Dr. Glenn ,
You mentioned this before and if find this so interesting. Would you look at feedback also?
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Leti ,
Use of blogs is the key. Your comment about correlating experiences with content is so interesting. It makes such great sense that students internalize their learning.
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
The assessment for a blog that I would incorporate would be an analytical rubric.
After providing instructions for student interaction with a learning object, I would then provide an analytical rubric with three categories of exceeds, meets, and needs improvement for content, interaction, relative contribution, and demonstration of proper Blogging skills.
Dr. Kelly-
I would assess the use of blogs by using the rubric that focuses on content, number of blogs and reflection. I would want to see how well the student is able to correlate personal experiences to the content being discussed. I would also like to see them actively engaged in the blog as the goal is to also encourage them to stay involved in the classroom and find value to it.

Michael ,
I like how you use Blogs. I I would create a rubric that includes the criteria so students know what to expect.
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Hello Dr. Wilkinson,
I would primarily focus on content, addressing such questions as:
Did the student address the requirements or questions in the assignment directly?
Did the student provide complete answers to the requirements or questions in the assignment?
Were their answers clear?
Was their reasoning clear?
In addition, I would like them to support their positions with evidence or information from reputable sources, include references,and post on time.
Best wishes,
Michael Luzius
Amy,
Collaboration as a factor would really be interesting. Would you use a rubric?
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Amy,
Collaboration as a factor would really be interesting. Would you use a rubric?
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
I would assess students' use of blogging based on content and posts. This would include breath and depth of appropriate and necessary content as well as both quantity and reflective quality of posts. Collaboration could also be a factor.
Todd,
Would you create a rubric that incorporates the criteria.
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Quantity and quality.
Appropriateness of the response, if it was turned in on time and if required a certain amount of replies to fellow bloggers.
Heather,
Did you mean a rubric?
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
I would definitely develop a blog to assess my students use of blogging. This would allow the student to know what I am looking for and make it easier for me to grade the blog.
Karina,
I think that is the way to assess it. It also explains your expectations of the assignments. It is important to students understand the importance of taking the assignments seriously
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
lisa,
Good use. Would you use rubrics to grade their efforts?
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
I would encourage students to use blogs the way they would journal. Feedback from other students wouldn't have to be necessary. It could just be another forum for the student to write reflections of assignments, etc.
I would assess students' use of blogging the same way I assess all other assignments. I would have a rubric in place at the beginning of the quarter that would explain quantitative and qualitative requirements for the post.
Andrea,
That would be the best way to assess it. What would be the important objectives to assess?
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
Paula,
That really doesn't tell me how you would assess it.
Dr. Kelly Wilkinson
As an online professor, I would assess students' use of blogging with a developed rubric. The rubric would include a break down of the blog assignment objectives.
