Above standard Below standard Initial Posting (Max 6 marks) This excellent posting demonstrates evidence of knowledge and understanding of course content and applicability to professional practice, and include other resources that extend the learning of the community. Postings integrate an outside resource, or relevant research, to support important points. Post is made early in the assignment period, giving peers plenty of time to reply. Initial Posting (0 – 5.9 marks) Posts show no evidence of knowledge and understanding of course content and applicability to professional practice. The posting fails to make appropriate reference to outside materials in supporting any arguments. Post is made at the last minute or late. Replies (Max 4 marks) Replies are substantive and reflect that the learner read and thought about the assigned reading and additional sources posted by the learner they are replying to. Replies actively stimulate and sustain further discussion by building on peers’ responses including building a focused argument around a specific issue or asking a new related question or making an oppositional statement supported by personal experience or related research. Replies are made over several days rather than all crammed into the due dates. Replies (0 – 3.9 marks) Replies lack substance and do not reflect any reading or thought about the course content. The reply does not move the conversation forward or answer a question presented or offer a reasoned opposing opinion. Postings are made late on the day the assignment is due so difficult for others to respond. |
