My last post regarding the practicality of the use of Google docs to individualize student learning was probably a bit harsh. The core of my position was that to individualize instruction Google forms makes more sense as actions taken within a form (student-constructed responses to tasks and competency checks) are automatically forwarded to a Google spreadsheet making tracking and evaluation by a teacher more practical. While docs are more flexible than forms, student additions to a doc require copies of the doc when it comes to tasks such as competency checks.
After reviewing sections of the Hyperdoc handbook again, I did come across a strategy the authors recommended to solve this problem. The authors propose that students open a shared Google doc, make a copy that they work on, and then share a link to this copy back to the teacher for feedback and evaluation.
