The share settings in Google Docs and Google Slides allow instructors and small groups to easily share documents and contribute to them collaboratively.
Google Doc Guidelines and Grading Criteria Examples
Collaborative Document Criteria
A portion of your final grade is based on your contribution to and the production of a high quality collaborative document. Collaborative documents are intended to encourage learners to exchange ideas throughout a module in order to produce a useful product on a given topic. To ensure that your collaboration is most productive, make sure you read any available instructions carefully before interacting. Additionally, post your initial entry in the document by the mid-module due date (when forum entries are due), following up throughout the week with revisions and comments to your work and the work of others as you build together.
Grading Criteria: Collaborative Document
- Evidence of interaction among classmates (i.e. comments/questions, revisions, additions) – 4 points
- Addresses all required content/questions – 4 points
- High-quality mechanics (spelling, grammar, punctuation) – 2 points
Total: 10 points for each assignment
Template Criteria
