Meeting Minutes

Colin Fredericks from HarvardX will give a short presentation on some custom open response assessment tools that can "remember" and pull up responses from other parts of the course.

After that, there will be a guided discussion about open response methods, best practices and headaches. The goal is to come out with a list of methods that work well in different scenarios and some wish-list features for the product.
