I like the idea of the DOTS for my own use as an instructor. It gets busy trying to have all of my students complete their "skill assessment check-off" lists. I think being able to quickly scan the classroom to see the status of completion, rather than having to stop, ask, and do a head count, would be a great time saver. It might also help those few students who like to wait until the last 10 minutes of class to complete a skill get selected to complete it earlier in the day.
