6 Feb 2013: While I really like the idea of the recommendation engine (I do, I really do), I know, based on my experience with even complex tools like workshop and joule engagement reports and JLevya's LAE rubric, that even the most sophisticated method we have available to automate judgments on course interactivity are not going to map ALL of the complex components involved in a writing workshop. Sooo...what would make this feature most useful to me would be if the system calculated all of the ducks I lined up for it to calculate, made its recommendation on those criteria to the best of its ability, and then let me as the teacher over-ride it based on the criteria that it still just can't calculate (the parts that need human judgment) in case there is something faulty in an algorithm somewhere. --Lesli

P.S. I can hear you saying, "Well if you're just going to over-ride the system recommendation, what is the point in having the recommendation?" I see this report screen that you have created as a SUPER powerful dashboard tool in conferences or other situations where one is managing upwards of a hundred students. At that point, one might forget the overall recommendation made (either by the system or by my over-ride) and need that user-report reminder of what had been recommended for that particular benchmark. Usually just having that check will be enough to trigger my memory as to why that over-ride was made (say like an over-ride I did in the gradebook) but having a feedback comment box for a reason would make this option that much more spectacular.
