Hi,

I love how your post captures the essence of alternative grading practices while illustrating how difficult they are to define (or how difficult it is to agree on the definitions), and at the same time, how important it is to try.

I am currently working on a research/action project in which we implement and assess some « pratiques de notation alternatives », in higher education in French Canada. I would like to translate and cite your post here. Would you allow it ?

I'm working on an essay about ungrading right now, so I searched the term on Twitter, as I periodically do, just to see what the current discourse is. Which led me to this blog post and to spitting out my grits when I saw my name. 😂 One additional point I'd like to make is that I *personally* don't think that collaborative grading is a synonym for ungrading. For me, collaborative grading is one of multiple pedagogical *practices* that emulate the ungrading *philosophy.* If we are talking Venn diagrams, collaborative grading (at least as I use it), is fully within the larger circle of ungrading. That being said, I know that many people use them as synonyms. I just don't happen to, which is funny since my name is the one that has been attached to the collaborative grading concept. 🙃
