Evaluating Participation in Collaboration


In my CIS 105 groups here at HACC, we're just wrapping up some group projects in which my students had to collaborate to produce a single deliverable (A shared OneNote Notebook). As was to be expected, in addition to some technical issues, there were the "doing one's fair share" squabbles.

In my search for a tool to provide to the students for evaluating each other's performance as a group member, I came across this explanation and rubric from the University of Texas. The materials are from an introduction to one of their online courses, and originally was a way to evaluate whether an individual was/would be a good candidate for an online course. They do, however, adequately assess a group member's performance within a group task/deliverable scenario as well.

An additional tool I found was more of a grading sheet. Still, it does break out the various skills/tasks necessary for collaboration, and allows for some assessment.
