[quote=Anonymous]From page 22of above cited report:

One of the goals for this evaluation was to address concern about authorship of messages for FC users in the FC pilot. To have confidence that each student’s typed message about schoolwork demonstrated the student’s knowledge and learning (as opposed to the facilitator’s), it was important to examine whether the facilitators implemented FC as intended and whether the students acquired the necessary FC skills. Based on observations, the level of implementation by facilitators was moderate for physical and emotional supports, but low for communication support. Students demonstrated a high level of physical skills, but a low level of message production and independence skills. Further, there was a low or moderate level of implementation for the school-based best practices that address authorship. These areas of less than full implementation, although not unexpected for the initial year of a project, make it less certain that the students’ typed messages about schoolwork demonstrated their own learning. However, school staff interviewees were relatively confident that the messages produced through FC—especially work done at school—could be attributed to the student users.[/quote]
