Telecollaborative Lesson Checklist

The purpose of this form is to guide the formative evaluation of a telecollaboration lesson. Print it out and have it in front of you as you look at your own or someone else's lesson. The form lists specific elements that should be in place in all such lessons. The numbers 1-3 are used to indicate the degree to which each base is covered. A 1 means that you've got a significant problem, while a 3 means that you've got that base well covered.

A perfect score on this checklist would be 54. Your score will be multiplied by .28 to reflect the fact that this counts for 15% of your final grade.
