Assessing participation in a collaborative learning community.
Participation and communication are important elements in a collaborative learning community. Instructors must make it clear what is expected of the participants in the learning community. Participants must understand what the outcome must be in the learning community. Participants must choose a role in the learning community to make the outcome a success. Participants must know and agree to the chosen role and responsibilities. Assessing the participation in the learning community should be done by the participants and the instructor. The participants should create a checklist for their learning community that everyone must follow. Throughout the given task, the participants should complete a checklist on the other particpants' collaboration. The participants give feedback to each other on their responsibilities. The instructor should also have access to the learning community and should be able to monitor the interaction of every participants in the learning community. The instructor should complete the same checklist and give feedback to each participant at any given time as well. The instructor should give deadlines for improvement for each participant and the learning community as whole. The participants must show improvements based on the checklists and feedback of the other participants and the instructor. All participants should be assessed based on their role and responsibilities in the learning community. If a participant does not complete the task that they are responsible for, the instructor must discuss the alternative with the participants and then discuss the results with the learning community. The learning community with the help of the instructor must adjust their roles and responsibilities to complete the final task successfully. The instructor should assess the learning community based on the willing participants and how they manage to complete the task by without the other participant. The learning community should not let the lacking participant hinder them for completing the task successfully.
