Overview

All three types of topics can be setup as gradable topics.

  • Threaded Discussions
  • Collaborative Blogs
  • Private Journals

This means that you can assign your students an interactive blog, journal or threaded discussion, and then easily keep track of their progress throughout the semester. Consider using a Grading Form rubric to help with grading discussions.
