Paper Abstract:
|
During the period 2003-2008 a multi-drafting teaching method was tried and formalized. The assumption was that students would react favorably to a mechanism that enables them to excel in every assignment. Preliminary research shows that although there is a positive and significant correlation between the number of drafts submitted per assignment and the final grade, some of the students do not take advantage of the mechanism offered. The results indicate a positive attitude toward (1) Usage of time for multi-drafting; (2) Opportunity to improve grades & excel; and (3) Fairness of grading. This study shows that content management of Web-based learning provides an opportunity for the teacher to improve students learning by offering continuous revisions of their work through multiple drafts. Accumulating a joint digital portfolio enables the teacher to easily monitor the students progress per assignment and per course. |
