Marking system in Knowledge Building


MAINPOINT = paragraph of a note which the student considers important or valuable. Mainpoint could be compared with uderlining or higlighting the paragraph of a note. The student is able to review her and other students mainpoints afterwards.

SUMMARY POINT = paragraph of a note which the student considers important to be in the summary of the whole knowledge building process. Summary point is more important than the mainpoint (could be scaled using factor x). The student may use the 'summary points' to create an overall summary note of the KB process.
