Here is the info from our discussion:

**Group Activity—Rubric for Course Project**

In Week 1, you were assigned to a group and began to explore potential document sharing/collaboration sites for you to complete your group work. This week you will use your selected site to work collaboratively to design a rubric for your Assessment Photo Album Course Project.

Following this week’s Learning Resources and guidelines:
 * Identify three or more essential qualities or traits to be demonstrated through the creation of the Assessment Photo Album. As suggested in the Identifying Important Performance Qualities book excerpt resource (p. 184), you may wish to begin your work by//individually// listing the important qualities or traits for the Assessment Photo Album. Then, as a group, agree to four to six of the most important traits.


 * Include a rating scale for each quality or trait with a 1- to 3-point range.


 * Write descriptors of performance and indicators for the lowest to highest level for each quality or trait. The distinctions between each level should be clear and appropriate.


 * Write the descriptors using parallel construction (i.e., the language is consistent from one level to the next).
 * //By Wednesday://**


 * Post** a copy of your group’s rubric that includes the items listed above. (**Note:** Each candidate should post individually.) Include a reflection on your group’s work as follows:
 * What was the most difficult part of creating this rubric?


 * What insights did you gain through the process and how will this guide your completion of the Assessment Photo Album Course Project?


 * What implications does this activity have for your teaching practices?


 * What online collaboration tool did you use, and what were its benefits and challenges?
