Michael, I've dealt with the same issue and ended up building an x-block, based on the SGA x-block, to grade students in a class for things like participation. It isn't automated, but it lets course faculty see all their students and give them a grade.
I call it the "Flex-Grader" and I use it for exactly this purpose. I literally just made the code public, so it might be a bit buggy on your instance, but if you want to give it a shot and let me know what issues you face, I can probably help. I think the largest class I've seen this work for is 300. https://github.com/jswope00/flex-grader John On Saturday, February 25, 2017 at 6:29:34 AM UTC-5, Vorasuang Duangchinda wrote: > > Hi there, > > As an instructor, I try to encourage students to participate in a > discussion board (I use Dogwood).
